If you think of an electric eel as a battery, you can get an idea of how the eel creates electricity. Electric eels have three organs which store electricity. Two of these organs can produce enough electricity to kill most of the eel's prey: about 500 Volts.
In California, the average hourly fee charged by divorce lawyers was $300 per hour, 27% higher than the national average. Our readers reported wide fluctuation in their divorce lawyersâ hourly rates -- some were charged as little as $150 an hour, while others shelled out over $500 an hour.
In terms of cost, I would estimate an amicable divorce to cost between $250 and $400 if you use an aid service, and perhaps less if you avail yourself of county courthouse self-help programs.This does not include the courthouse filing charges, which might vary from county to county.320 to file the initial divorce papers in California. If the spouse files a Response with the court he/she would have to pay an additional response/appearance fee of $320. A response fee is not charged if its a CA summary dissolution or if the case enters default.
