Divorce Lawyers - Online Divorces
Almost all cases can be handled online. Uncontested online divorces are especially easy. Email contact, a few
phone calls, documents transmitted by delivery. Only one court appearance is typically required, for one spouse.
You may meet your divorce lawyer for the first time, in the courtroom, just before reading the agreement into
the public record. The hearing usually lasts about 5 minutes for uncontested cases.
Divorce lawyers ordinarily offer free initial consultations. Expect a detailed explanation of the process
involved, time required and fees charged. Ask any legal question you may have. Attorneys expect new family law
clients to ask many questions. When shopping fees, be sure to inquire about the payment of retainers and
retainer agreements. A few divorce lawyers request nonrefundable retainers. Most divorce lawyers
charge by the hour and bill monthly.
After retaining an divorce lawyer, all further contact regarding any legal issues should be directed to
attorneys. As a practical matter, after filing for divorce, parents with children frequently choose to continue
discussing their children and needs throughout the process. The decision is entirely yours, and your attorney
will assist you to insure the best interest of your children is protected. |
