Asked 9/26/2010

What's the average cost in Orange County CA for a family law attorney that specializes in divorce?

I'm in need of a divorce attorney in OC, and from what I've seen and heard so far, is that their rates are $275-$300 per hour, with retainer fees starting at $2500. I don't have much money, and unfortunately, I do not qualify for legal aid offered by the county.

File the petition yourself, its not as hard as it may seem. And you got this cite to ask for help from, some pretty sharp people posting answers here, the county clerks office in O.C. has a packet you can get and all you have to do is fill in the blanks. How long have you two been married? Any children under 18 ? How about property? Those are the two areas that could get sticky, but if those areas aren't complicated and he's not contesting the divorce it should go rather quick easy and painless. I hope this helps? Good luck.

You don't need to go to an hourly attorney if you have no money, especially. Flat fee deals are done. These days there is so much competition. Your self-help center will help you and you can ask questions on the WebAnswers.com like you just did. Be sure if you get an agreement, it must be in writing and it must be detailed for responsibilities on both sides.
