An Attorney-assisted Divorce is one in which a Lawyer helps the client with the Divorce paperwork and/or process and charges a flat fee for the service. This is not full representation so there are no retainer and hourly rates.
This is a unique form of ‘limited scope’ or ‘unbundled’ legal services whereby the attorney advises the client and oversees the divorce process. If the client and spouse decide to agree on their issues, a Marital Settlement Agreement can be prepared. In addition, if the spouse does not respond the divorce can proceed by default. If the spouse does respond and does not wish to agree, then the divorce can proceed by trial. If the client wishes to use the Attorney-assisted method, then a flat fee is offered on a ‘pay as you go’ system.
If a client tries to complete the Divorce without attorney involvement, he/she is often at a disadvantage. With attorney involvement, clients get:
- legal advice
- legal oversight
- legally correct paperwork and court processes
With an Attorney-assisted Divorce, clients can get affordable legal assistance with no financial surprises.
