FAMILY LAW FEE OPTIONS

We offer both "Hourly Rate" and "Fixed Fee" Options

At the conclusion of your initial consultation, we will provide tailored guidance on the most suitable fee structure for your matter.

Every family law matter is different. After understanding your circumstances and the scope of work involved, we'll recommend the fee structure best suited to your needs.

Our aim is to offer clarity, transparency, and cost‑effective support from the very beginning.

Why We Offer Fee Options

We understand that uncertainty about legal costs can be one of the most stressful aspects of a family law matter.

Our staged fixed-fee approach helps provide greater transparency and control by allowing clients to understand the likely costs involved before each stage of work begins.

Rather than committing to an open-ended process, you'll know what work is being completed, what it will cost and what your options are at each step of your matter.

TRANSPARENT FEES. CLEAR OPTIONS.

How Our Fixed-Fee Model Works

We charge for the task (stage) that you task us to do, not the time that it takes us to do it.

After meeting with you to discuss your legal issues, we estimate the work that is required at each stage of your matter and provide you with a fixed fee quote for the first step (stage one) and each future step that may arise (e.g. stages 2, 3 and 4) that is:

Tailored to your individual case needs;
Specific to the scope/stage of work that is required in your matter;
Updated if required to accommodate your changing legal needs.

Our fixed fees are offered to you in stages (scopes), e.g. drafting Applications and Consent Orders or Binding Agreements, preparation and attendance at mediation, preparation and completion of settlements as separate fixed fee agreements. With each stage of work you instruct us to complete, you are made aware of the fixed fee for the next stage/s, if required. Upon completion of each stage of work, you decide whether to progress to the next stage, pursuant to a further fixed fee agreement, keeping you in control of your costs.

We invoice for our services on a monthly basis, charging for the work completed in that month up to the fixed fee agreed.

If the scope of the work or your legal needs change, a variation agreement is discussed and agreed with you in writing.
