There is no set amount. Just finanace whatever you have to and make sure you get the best attorney. Find out the most expensive ones and go get consultations with them. Then your ex can't use them bacause it would be a conflict of interest. Then you can just get a good one that won't cost a fortune and your ex will have to do the same thing. Be very careful and fight for your kids. My huband has regreted settling for less than he deserved ever since. If you give in then judges in the futre will think you didn't really want them int he first place.

Most generally a custody case will cost you about $10,000 minimum and that is on top of the retainer that you have to pay your attorney. Custody battles aren't cheap and there is no guarantee that you will win the battle. Good luck to you.

It just depends on how much fighting there is and really who has the better chance. If you think there is a good chance the other one can win. You will be spending a lot of money. I spent about 8000.00 and that was 15 years ago. I would spend it again in a heart beat for the welfare of my kids.

It could cost thousands and thousands. People should really try for the children/s sake as well as financially to be civil and make mutual decisions instead of having to go through the court.

uncontested probably around 1000.00 to 1500.00 if contested your looking at 2000.00 and up depending on what all is involved.
