    I'm curious to know if anyone has been through a difficult divorce how much it cost in legal fees.

    I've been separated for almost 2 years. Tried mediation but ex wouldn't engage. He says he will make it as long and difficult as possible if I get a solicitor and start divorce proceedings.

    He earns more than me and has much more money in savings so he could afford to be difficult and I'm worried I could run out of savings and still not be divorced.

    It can get very expensive for a contentious divorce. ten's of thousands (and a hell of a lot more than that too). Each divorce is different but the costs can spiral quickly.

    Get the best solicitor you can afford! Or else you can apply for legal aid.

    If your ex appeals the Circuit Court order to the High Court it'll get horribly expensive.
