FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about family law? We have answers. If you do not find what you are looking for, give us a call at (555) 000-0000 and we will be happy to help.

What areas of family law do you handle?
We handle the full spectrum of family law: divorce (contested and uncontested), child custody and visitation, child support, alimony and spousal support, adoption, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, and Protection From Abuse (PFA) orders. If your situation involves a family legal matter, we can help.
How much does a family law attorney cost?
Our fees depend on the complexity of your case. Initial consultations start at $250. Full-representation retainers typically begin at $3,500 for standard matters. Complex litigation involving high assets, custody trials, or expert witnesses is quoted on a custom basis. Every client receives a written fee agreement before any work begins — no surprises.
Do you offer free consultations?
We offer an affordable initial consultation at $250 for a full hour with an experienced attorney. During this meeting, you will receive substantive legal analysis, a realistic assessment of your situation, and a clear roadmap of your options. Many firms offer free 15-minute calls that leave you with more questions than answers — we invest real time because we believe informed clients make better decisions.
How long does a divorce take in this state?
An uncontested divorce where both parties agree on all issues can be finalized in as little as 60 to 90 days from filing. Contested divorces involving disputed custody, assets, or support can take six months to over a year, depending on court schedules and the complexity of the issues. We will give you a realistic timeline during your initial consultation based on the specifics of your case.
What is the difference between legal custody and physical custody?
Legal custody refers to the right to make major decisions about your child’s upbringing — education, healthcare, religion. Physical custody refers to where the child lives and the day-to-day parenting schedule. Courts can award joint or sole custody in either category. We help parents craft parenting plans that serve the child’s best interests while protecting each parent’s relationship with their children.
Can I modify an existing custody or support order?
Yes. Courts will modify custody or support orders when there has been a material and substantial change in circumstances — such as a job loss, relocation, remarriage, or a change in the child’s needs. We handle modification petitions and can advise whether your situation meets the legal threshold for a modification.
What is a Protection From Abuse (PFA) order and how do I get one?
A PFA is a court order that protects you and your children from abuse, harassment, stalking, or threats by a family or household member. We can help you file an emergency petition — often the same day you contact us — and represent you at the final hearing. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 first, then contact us to secure long-term legal protection.
Do I really need a prenuptial agreement?
Prenuptial agreements are not just for the wealthy. They protect both parties by clearly defining separate and marital property, establishing financial expectations, and avoiding costly disputes if the marriage ends. They are especially valuable for business owners, individuals with children from a prior relationship, or anyone entering a marriage with significant assets or debt. We draft enforceable agreements that hold up in court and respect both parties.
Will my case go to trial?
The vast majority of family law cases settle before trial — through negotiation, mediation, or collaborative law. Our firm is skilled at reaching favorable settlements without the expense and stress of a courtroom trial. However, when the other side is unreasonable or when your interests demand it, we are experienced trial attorneys who will fight for you in court.
How do I get started?
Call us at (555) 000-0000 or fill out the contact form on our website. We will schedule your initial consultation — typically within 48 hours — and begin building the strategy your situation requires. The first step is the hardest. We are here to make the rest of the journey as straightforward as possible.
