Be Careful of Flat-Fee Divorces

There have been articles and stories about people who hire divorce attorneys and are charged a flat fee, meaning one price no matter the case. In few instances, a flat-fee divorce is a good option for a client. However, most of the time, it is not a good decision. Divorces can be complicated, with their outcomes dependent on the spouses involved.
If you are involved in a divorce, you may not want to hire an attorney on a flat-fee. For instance, if you and your future ex-spouse have worked out all of the issues necessary in order to get a divorce, and you pay an attorney a flat-fee of $5,000 for your divorce, you may have overpaid. On the other hand, if you and your future ex-spouse fight like cats and dogs and take months or years to work out your divorce, then a flat-fee of $1,000 would not be enough to effectively represent you.
The best thing to know about divorces and attorney fees is that you need to hire an attorney that you are comfortable with and that you will get what you pay for, not overpay, and not get bargain-basement representation.
