The Divorce Service is not a fixed rate like the other services I provide. Just as no two people are alike neither are their divorces decree's as I described in the latter paragraph. Variation in fees include: The total number of pages required. Postal delivery confirmation ( First Class mailing versus Priority Mailing ) and Non Certified copies versus Certified copies. Since I do not know the exact cost to quote you, I have had to devise an alternative method. Your Research Proposal fee quotation will be based on the following four types of copies and postal delivery method. |
Divorce Decree Record copy costs are expensive. One reason, the fee per page levied by the Wayne County Clerk in comparison to other Michigan counties. Their archaic organizational system is time consuming in locating and viewing the microfilmed divorce files. A new policy, for starters is for the original files older than 9 months are pulled to be microfilmed and they charge $1.00 just to look at the record. Secondly, depending on the type of decree you need and if chiildren are involved, the pages be up to 5 ( with no children involved ) and up to 15 pages or better (with children involved) due to property settlement, child support, custody arrangements, pensions, dispersion of assets etc. just to name a few. Lastly, my Research fee which includes, time, travel and parking fees. Non Certified $75.00 Certified $100.00 |
