How to Legally SAVE THOUSANDS on Your Divorce
By Michael
If you want to save time, money and the effort that is involved
in getting a divorce quickly and as painlessly as possible, then please keep reading.
This
may be the most important article you have ever read about divorce
matters! Why do we say this? Because we know that you want to
alleviate the stress of filing for a divorce, and we have the
solution you’ve been looking for!
Divorces can be very expensive. There are ways to make it less
expensive, this takes a little research and work from you but in
the end you will save thousands of dollars in attorney's fees.
Chances are, no one knows your personal business or that of
your spouse better than you do. Chances are you can at least
develop the questions, if not find all the answers.
You will be able to save yourself thousands of dollars in
attorney's fees by preparing your motions yourself or by helping
your attorney prepare your motions. Remember, the more work you
do, the less you have to pay your attorney. Most legal forms can
be obtained online and include do it yourself instructions.
Current divorce attorney rates range from $220 to $550 an hour,
and depending on your location it is not unusual for attorneys to
charge more than $550 especially for a large metropolitan area.
You pay for the expertise, but sometimes you wind up paying the
same rate for things they pass off to their Legal Assistants or
Paralegals. You have the information, and as you go forward you'll
have a better idea of what you want the law to do.
If you do the research, write the motion, and then give it to
your attorney to review and edit, you'll save money and time. If
there are no special circumstances and both parties of the divorce
agree, it can be easily done by ordering Legal forms for your
particular state, filling in the necessary information and taking
it to the Clerk of Court to file. Usually, a Hearing will be set
within thirty days, the Judge signs the Final Decree and you are
legally divorced.
Some attorneys, as a matter of professional pride, professional
paycheck or both, will not necessarily appreciate you taking it
upon yourself to write the motions. Remember to consult with your
attorney before deciding that it will be done this way. However,
if you do it this way, after your divorce is final, if your ex
falls behind on support payments, or you need to modify support or
visitation, you will be able to write a motion on your own and not
have to pay your attorney.
Of course, in contested divorces, it's always best to hire an
attorney but remember you can always be your own private
investigator which is a lot cheaper than the investigator hired by
the attorney. You can fill out Court financial forms and always
speak to your attorney's secretary instead of the attorney if at
all possible. The Secretary bills at a different rate than
attorneys.
By speaking with the secretary, you will be charged a lesser
fee if a fee at all and most of the time the secretary can answer
your questions better than the attorney. Usually, if she does not
have the answer for you, she can get an answer and get back with
you. Most clients do not realize that they are billed for every
conversation with the attorney. So, if you want to know the answer
to a simple question, simply speak with the secretary.
