Our Family Law Attorney Can Help You Through This Difficult Process
When filing for divorce you must retain a local Birmingham divorce lawyer to counsel you through the process. If you are interested in a contested divorce in Jefferson or Shelby County, then you can contact our office to discuss our fees and go over the process together over the phone.
A contested divorce is where one party’s divorce attorney files the divorce and serves the other party with the paperwork. The other spouse, once served, has a limited amount of time to respond and if they do not, then the filing party may be able to receive their divorce by default. If the other party does respond, then there will usually be hearings set and a contested divorce will begin. A contested divorce continues until both parties either reach an agreement as to all contested issues or have a trial and let the judge in their case decide these issues for them.
Our Birmingham divorce attorneys can help you get a contested divorce, but the fees are much higher. We will require a retainer upfront that can be very expensive, depending on your circumstances. The divorce attorney in Birmingham then bills out of that retainer at an hourly rate until he or she has worked enough so that the retainer is empty. At that point, you have to refill the retainer for the divorce attorney to keep working on the case. Call us today and speak with our Birmingham divorce lawyer and they can give you a quick phone consultation and quote you a retainer fee for your particular case.
It is always cheaper and simpler to reach an agreement beforehand and file an uncontested divorce in Alabama, but if that is not possible then call our Birmingham divorce lawyers to discuss the contested divorce process in your county.
Let Us Explain How Retainers Work
When filing a cheap divorce in Jefferson County there are certain documents that must have language included in them that are unique to that county. However, with a contested divorce it is even more important to hire a local family law firm attorney. That is because you will need someone who knows how the process works in the local court system.
Contested divorce retainers can be very high, just how much depends on how complex the issues involved are and how much they are contested.
When there are minor children involved, retainers are generally more than without children, however, there are other factors that affect your retainer quote in the end. Feel free to reach out to our office today. Our divorce lawyers in Birmingham can go over your case and inform you of the retainer required upfront to begin working on your case.
