Sometimes couples mutually decide that their wedding is not working out and they should separate their ways and when both the spouses decide to agree to file the divorce together then it is called mutual divorce. Mutual divorce does not include many steps and hearings but there are just two court hearings and it also makes the process efficient and faster.

Now, the fees of the lawyer depends on which lawyer you are hiring for your case as according to the experience and the success rate of the lawyers they charge their fees. And if you want to go for a law firm then obviously their cost will be higher than an individual advocate.

You might also have to pay the lawyers for consultation, documentation and drafting which they will do for your case.
