What is attorney-client privilege?
Attorney-client privilege is a legal concept that protects confidential communications between you and your family lawyer. This protection ensures that you can speak openly about sensitive personal and financial matters without fear of these discussions being disclosed. In family law cases, where intimate details are often discussed, this privilege is particularly important for ensuring complete honesty and developing effective legal strategies.
How much does a family lawyer cost?
Family law fees vary based on case complexity, required services, and whether matters are contested or uncontested. We offer flexible fee arrangements including hourly rates for standard representation, flat fees for specific services like uncontested divorces or prenuptial agreements, and retainer options. We provide transparent fee structures and work with clients to develop cost-effective strategies that address their unique family situation. Contact us for a consultation to discuss your specific needs and receive a tailored estimate.
What are the grounds for divorce?
Divorce grounds vary by jurisdiction, but most states now offer no-fault divorce options based on "irreconcilable differences" or "irretrievable breakdown of the marriage." Some states still maintain fault-based grounds including adultery, abandonment, cruelty, or imprisonment. Our attorneys can explain the advantages and disadvantages of each approach in your specific situation, including how your choice may impact division of assets, support arrangements, and the overall timeline and cost of your divorce proceedings.
How is child custody determined?
Child custody decisions are based on the "best interests of the child" standard, which considers numerous factors including each parent's relationship with the child, stability and ability to provide care, the child's needs and preferences (depending on age), and willingness to support the child's relationship with the other parent. Courts generally favor arrangements that allow children meaningful relationships with both parents when appropriate. Our attorneys help clients develop parenting plans that prioritize children's wellbeing while protecting parental rights and relationships.
