Should you need contested divorce services, our Tuscaloosa divorce lawyers can help. The attorney fees for this type of divorce are, however, significantly higher than an uncontested divorce. As do most other Tuscaloosa and Northport divorce lawyers, we require a retainer for contested divorce services. An hourly attorney fee is charged and since contested divorces take longer and are more labor intensive than uncontested, it will very likely be pricey.

Retainers for contested divorces generally are thousands of dollars but how much can depend on how difficult the issues involved are. While there are many factors that go into the retainer amount, having children involved in this type of divorce also contributes to higher prices.
