Legal Question in Family Law in California

do-it-yourself divorce???

Do attorney's do a consult time where they review what we have written up and advise on how to make it legla compliant? would an attorney take our papers adn write them up on the legal documents for both parties as we agree on everything? what would that cost? we just want things finalized and done so as quickly and cost effectively as possible. we agree on everything and he wants to move outof state in 3 weeks.

thank you

That depends on the status of the pleadings. The cost would be about $550 to $950. Good Luck, Pat McCrary

Yes, a good, client oriented attorney would be more than happy to review and/or draft any legal paperwork that you would like have properly done. Without any more information than you have given so far, you can choose a good attorney to charge either a flat upfront fee or work on an hourly fee schedule. Our Law Office would be more than happy to help ensure your existing or partially completed paperwork is compliant and legally enforceable at a very affordable fee schedule, typically starting at around $500 and depending on what all needs to be done. If you would like a free phone consultation, contact us directly today. Warmest regards.
