In an international comparison it is not expensive to apply for a divorce in Sweden. The application fee is only 900 SEK, and there are no additional fees required to submit a divorce application. If you hire a family law attorney to assist you with the divorce application and provide advice before the divorce, it usually costs no more than a few thousand SEK at most. This is also a well-invested expense, as you can be confident that your application will be correctly drafted in all aspects.
However, if you cannot agree on the division of property or the custody of the children and are forced to hire legal representatives to resolve the dispute in court, the costs can become very high. Family law proceedings are generally complex and often take a long time to resolve, resulting in significant expenses, particularly for legal representation.
