Can a divorce lawyer help me with child maintenance issues?
Yes, as part of the divorce proceedings, negotiations around custody of children and parental rights will be one of the deciding factors in coming to a mutually agreed settlement between the two parties.
Do I still need a divorce lawyer if we’ve appointed a mediator?
In some instances, working with a mediator might be just what you need to obtain a divorce with as little conflict as possible between you and your spouse.
In circumstances where there are many disputes, and mediation has offered little remedy, it makes sense to have a divorce lawyer in your corner defending your rights.
Who pays for divorce lawyer fees?
If your divorce is uncontested, your lawyer will likely charge a fixed nominal fee for any work done.
For contested divorces, and depending on the circumstances, one of the issues to resolve may be whether one of the parties should pay all the costs of the divorce proceedings.
