Simple Worcester Divorce Lawyer Charging a Low, Flat-Fee
The cost of a divorce does not always have to be so expensive. Consider these three points:
- The amount of money that two divorcing parties spend on legal fees tends to be directly related to the level of agreement between two divorcing parties;
- Family law attorneys typically bill clients by the hour; and
- The more that two parties can agree to the terms and conditions of their divorce, the more that the billable hours (and resulting legal fees) are kept under control.
Contested matters are those that require judicial intervention. When two parties cannot agree, the court makes the ultimate ruling.
While no divorce is truly "uncontested" in the sense there are no disagreements, disputes do not always have to be resolved in court. That's what is referred to in Massachusetts as a "1A Uncontested" divorce - one where the parties reach an agreement as to both the terms and conditions of their divorce without the need for going to trial.
Working toward agreement with your partner offers improvements to the old adversarial system where both spouses are pitted against each other in court, retaining expensive attorneys on each side.
Marriage is a Powerful Legal Institution
As a powerful legal institution, a Massachusetts marriage is not easily dissolved. Contested or uncontested, every detail of your Separation Agreement must be handled carefully in order to ensure that you and your spouse are actually getting what you think you are getting - a fair and permanent solution. Unfortunately, simple errors when attempting to do-it-yourself can cause serious problems.
There is No Substitute for Experienced Representation
Many people think that they can handle uncontested divorce matters on their own, but they do not know what they are getting themselves into. Making a mistake during an uncontested divorce can cost each of you money down the road. An attorney can catch mistakes and anticipate unforeseen circumstances. This helps protect cases from becoming costly.
