In a contested divorce, you file a document called a Complaint asking for whatever relief you desire such as being awarded custody, the house, or other such marital property or debts.

You can hire a local Albertville divorce attorney to do this for you or you can file it yourself. If you want us to represent you then, like most other divorce law firms, you will need to pay something called a retainer. This is where you pay a lump sum up front and the divorce attorney bills out of this hourly. That means the longer the case goes, the more hours that your Albertville divorce attorney will charge for working. Once the divorce attorney has billed enough time and this retainer is emptied, then you would need to refill the retainer to have the attorney continue representing you in the case.

Most retainers for contested divorces are thousands of dollars depending on the law firm and whether you have children of the marriage or not. For a quote on how much we will require up front to filing your contested divorce, just call us for a quick phone consultation with our Albertville divorce attorney and we can usually tell you over the phone the same day you call.

If it’s not an uncontested divorce, for divorce is called a contested divorce. This is where you file a divorce without any agreement being reached and have your spouse served with the Complaint.

In addition to offering uncontested divorce services, we also have an experienced contested divorce attorney on staff. However, it is important to note that attorney fees for uncontested divorce in Marshall County are significantly higher than an uncontested divorce due to the workload and how the retainer is charged. As is common practice with divorce lawyers, we require a retainer for such services and our contested divorce attorney in Albertville bills hourly from it depending on the amount of work performed. So your attorney fees could get more expensive if your marital issues are complicated and take longer to work out. A normal range for retainer fees can be thousands of dollars, of course dependent upon how complex the issues involved are and how contested they get. If there are minor children of the marriage, then the retainers are more than divorces without children, but there are other factors our Albertville divorce lawyer considers in quoting you a retainer.

To find out how much of a retainer our Albertville divorce lawyer would require up front to begin working on your case, you can call our office. You will have a brief consultation with a Marshall County divorce lawyer to go over the specifics of your case and give you an estimate. Things like what assets you share with your spouse, especially if there are minor children between you, or other potentially complex issues will affect the estimated retainer. Then our Albertville divorce lawyer can file your case when you get us the retainer.
