Attorney fees for a divorce can be crazy; they can really get out of hand, is there any way that you can spend less on your divorce. Hi! I’m Lee Rosen from the Rosen Law Firm, thanks for watching today.
You can absolutely save money on Attorney’s fees if you’re willing to pull up your sleeves and go to work. You’ve got to decide if you value your time or your money more. Basically Attorney’s fees are all about how time it takes to get the work done. And the more you will take on yourself the less you will spend on your Attorney and on their staff. What should you do? Give your Attorney to agree before you hire the Attorney. That you can do much of the leg work on your own, that might involve being your own courier doing your own copying or scanning of documents or organizing financial records. If you don’t do it someone else will and that someone else will usually bill you with a $100 plus per hour.
Next stop; don’t call your Attorney every time a thought pops into your head. Keep a lists and only call once a week, I know things seem urgent but if you want to save money you’re going to have the exercise some discipline. When Attorney’s bill hourly it takes a month or so for the first bill to come. Lots of clients get it after they get that first bill and they stop calling. You don’t need to learn lesson the hard way, just stop calling now. What else can you do to save money? Be reasonable, don’t be one of those folks that says, I will never pay (fill in the blank) or I will never allow my child to (fill in the blank) if you take it extreme positions you’re always going to have higher fees. In most cases you end up doing at least a little bit of whatever it was that you said you would never do. So, go ahead and be reasonable and start being reasonable early in the process. That’s going to save your money.
Now, I can hear some of you saying, I can’t be reasonable because he or she won’t ever be reasonable. Well, that’s your call but it also you are money. You nee to do whatever works for you and for your budget, consider being reasonable. Do a cost benefit analysis of every decision you make, think about each decision. Will it costs me more that it saves me? Think about the financial impact of each in everything you do as part of your case.
Finally, settle the case. Settle it early; the faster you make the deal the less you’re going to spend. You might think to this process needs to be long and drawn out, it doesn’t. It can be done quickly sometimes people resolve this cases in days not weeks, not months. The key to a quick settlement is focus, when both husband and wife get focus on the details rather than on the broad concepts the case moves rapidly to conclusion. Start thinking details, start making list then when you’re communicating about the case you’re going to be talking about specifics. And the next thing you know the case will be settled and it will be over.
I hope my advice is going to help you saves some money. This doesn’t have to be merely as expensive asset becomes for some people, you can do it for less. For more information about divorce in North Carolina, visit our website at rosen.com. I’m Lee Rosen for the Rosen Law Firm.
