Before you call about family law / divorce
General guidance for this kind of matter, not advice about your situation and not specific to this firm.
Questions worth asking
Do you push toward settlement or mediation first, or straight to court?
What is your realistic estimate of total cost for a matter like mine?
How are decisions about the children handled if we cannot agree?
How quickly do you respond, and who do I contact when you are in court?
How this work is usually billed
Family work is usually hourly against a retainer you top up as it is drawn down. Uncontested separations are sometimes offered as a flat fee. The cost gap between a negotiated agreement and a contested trial is very large, so ask about both.
What to have ready
Dates of marriage and separation, a rough list of assets and debts, recent pay information for both parties, and any agreement already signed.
