Divorce can be a complex legal matter with multiple moving parts. Just as every relationship and marriage is unique, the same can be said for divorces.
There are many steps a couple must go through in order to finalize their divorce. The longer a divorce takes to finalize, generally the more expensive it will be due to the additional legal work required to properly resolve all family law issues.
It’s standard practice that family law attorneys bill their clients hourly. While an individual may work with a single attorney on their divorce, working up the case can involve multiple law firm staff members and more junior attorneys to ensure its success.
Divorces should not be any more complicated, stressful, or expensive than they need to be. Clients seeking a divorce lawyer trust the time and attention paid to their cases will ensure a favorable outcome, but it shouldn’t have to cost an arm and a leg.

Insurance companies are far less likely to try to deny a valid claim when an attorney is involved,” he says. Appealing a denial isn’t a matter of filling out a few forms or writing a lawyer letter to the insurance company.
