The cost of legal representation in a family law matter will depend on multiple factors, including the complexity of the issues and how quickly you and your spouse or partner can settle any disputes. Although family lawyers typically charge an hourly fee for their representation, paying for legal counsel can provide significant value by having someone who will protect your financial interests in a divorce, alimony, or child support matter. If your spouse controls your family’s funds, we can petition the court to order your spouse to release funds to you to hire legal counsel.
