Today's tough economic times appear to be responsible for a drop in divorce filings in many areas of the country due in large part to the expense of a litigated divorce.

An article on MainStreet.com, which can be found here, notes 5 ways to reduce the cost of a divorce:

1)  Mediation

2) Collaborative Law

3) Filing Pro Se (without an attorney)

4) Using Online Kits

5) Using strategies to lower your attorney's legal bill

Mediation costs are generally split equally by the parties and can produce the most bang for your buck.
