I know some distance learning courses offering PhD and/or DBA, but I do not know how convincing this is to prospective employers and peers. Do people look down on "distance learning" doctorate degrees? Is it worth the $15,000 to $40,000?
I currently work and would want to get a doctorate part-time. In the country I reside in, there are universities which offer part-time brick-and-mortar doctorate degrees. What do I do?

Ideally, you would want to go to a school which is recognized in the research field you were considering. A doctorate degree is bestowed to a student who the academe feels merits the former to be called a peer. This is normally done in the traditional schools.
However, there have been some legitimate schools who focus on self-study and who offer the same challenge as brick-and-mortar. There are so much diploma mills in the world that you really have to pick the right school. In order to remove doubt and skepticism, you better focus on getting in a traditional university, where you can interact with your professors and fellow students.

No, only goes up to masters. Look for accreditation from the department of education.
