The average divorce is a perfect storm of stress, time, and money.

According to Lawyers.com “the average total cost of a full-scope attorney in a typical Georgia divorce ranges from $10,500 to $12,700” and the case lasts for about a year.

It is well-established that more than 90% of all divorces eventually end with an agreement between the parties. We believe that you should at least explore that first, instead of starting a long, expensive, and probably unnecessary fight.
Most divorce attorneys routinely start a fight instead of exploring an early agreement. Legal battles generate 3-4 times more legal fees than negotiating an agreement, and usually take that much longer to complete, too. Make sure a fight is your best option before starting one.
Your fee structure should work for you, not against you. Don’t pay your attorney by the hour to keep fighting if you are interested in an early agreement. Instead, try to negotiate one flat fee with your attorney so that both of you are better off the sooner the agreement is reached.
Our experience has been that if an agreement can be explored BEFORE any case is filed in court, then most of our clients can reach an early agreement and save thousands in fees and months of stress.
