Uncontested Divorce??????

[smutlydog]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas

My son is hiring an attorney for his supposedly uncontested divorce.
He was given a price of $750.00 if the divorce is uncontested. Their are no children involved. My son is in the military serving in Afghanistan and is worried that she may change her mind about contesting the divorce. They have been separated, for obvious reasons, for 2 months.

What kind of issues can raised that might drive this $750.00 price up?

thanks

Alimony/spousal support. Division of property. Who takes the debt.

I am assuming this $750.00 price could easily double if things got out of hand.

Or simply one party decides to try to make it a 'fault' divorce rather than 'no fault'. Or virtually ANY disagreement at all.

$750 could double if there's any disagreement AT ALL. If things get out of hand, you could be looking at 10 times that figure - or more.
