It is impossible to determine the precise fee until the case is completed.  A typical domestic case requires many separate services, including conferences, discovery of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, settlement negotiations with your spouse’s attorney, preparation and review of a proposed property settlement and support agreements, preparation and filing of pleadings or review of pleadings filed by your spouse, preparation or review of court orders and attendance at various court hearings.   

            If a trial is necessary, one spouse may be ordered to pay some portion of the other spouse’s attorney’s fees.  You are responsible for paying our fees, but we will give you full credit for any payments made by your spouse pursuant to a court order, and will pursue any possible claim for attorney's fees against your spouse.  The court can award attorney’s fees for the custody, child support, Postseparation Support and Alimony claims, but not for the absolute divorce and equitable distribution claims.
