Here are some of the things a divorce, custody or family law attorney can do for you.
Every divorce is unique – divorces without kids or complicated assets can be fairly cost-effective. Divorces with high levels of conflict that go to trial can cost tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It’s difficult to say, but only a small percentage of divorces require a trial. It generally makes the divorce more expensive, more time-consuming and gives the divorcing spouses less control. Divorce trials are typically reserved for situations where the spouses are unable to agree on any principle items of their divorce.
Start by speaking with a lawyer. Some family law attorneys offer a free initial consultation. This is generally going to be a very limited meeting. Family Law attorneys need to be careful about their time and giving free advice.
