Choosing a divorce lawyer
Look for someone who regularly appears in the family courts where your case will be heard, and ask how they approach negotiation versus litigation. Ask for a written fee agreement and an estimate of total cost, not only the hourly rate. If your finances are complex (a business, pensions, property abroad), ask whether the lawyer works with forensic accountants or valuers.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a lawyer for an uncontested divorce?
Not always. Many jurisdictions allow people to file uncontested divorces themselves, but a lawyer can review the settlement so that property, pension and support terms are complete and enforceable.
How are divorce lawyers usually paid?
Most charge by the hour against an upfront retainer. Some offer fixed fees for uncontested matters. Contingency fees are generally not permitted in divorce cases.
What should I bring to a first consultation?
A summary of assets and debts, recent tax returns, any existing agreements (such as a prenuptial agreement) and a list of questions about timing, cost and strategy.
