Indeed, people with serious family matters will want affordable family lawyers. Because of a tight budget, a person may opt for affordable family lawyers. However, it is possible to seek affordable family lawyers that can provide advice that is tailored to your case. 

Whether it’s minor or major cases, a lawyer will provide you with the proper costs related to your needs. Some lawyers also charge fixed fees which are affordable for people with major legal issues. This article will discuss why people are looking for affordable family lawyers. 

How Financial Stress Affects Family Breakdowns

According to Relationships Australia and Health Direct, financial stress causes relationship breakdowns. At some point, we may have experienced stress by having almost little to no money in our pockets. Truly, we do need the funds and money for our daily needs and relationships. Health Direct also states that financial stress can cause:

  • Difficulty in sleeping
  • Irritability
  • Mood Swings
  • Fatigue
  • Muscle pain
  • Loss of appetite
  • Withdrawal from social interaction

Undoubtedly, all of these causes may exist within a relationship and may lead to family breakdowns. Some other causes of financial stress may stem from losing a job, unemployment, or unpaid debts. Thus, these causes may lead to relationship breakdowns and why people are seeking affordable family lawyers.

Factors In Calculating Affordable Family Lawyers’ Fees

How affordable are lawyers nowadays? The answer to this question is not straightforward as it will depend on several factors. Clients should always agree with a lawyer’s fees before they hand over their case to them.

Below are the factors that determine how affordable family lawyers are:

Experience

Essentially, the experience of a lawyer is an important factor in determining their affordability. Clients will definitely not want an inexperienced lawyer when they’re facing criminal charges. We can compare the law to navigating a new country when you’re on vacation.

Wouldn’t you like an experienced tour guide to guide you about places to explore during your vacation? Similarly, you’d want an experienced lawyer that has credible reviews from their past clients. It’s recommended not to rely on cheap lawyers as their low costs also reflect the low chances of a case’s success. 

How They Handle Your Case

Affordable family lawyers should demonstrate their willingness to work with clients in their cases. Do they treat your case with care and utmost attention? Lawyers are being paid for how they handle cases, so they should also demonstrate that they can be trusted to do so. 

How They Communicate

Affordable family lawyers should also keep their clients posted if there are any major or minor updates in their case. Do they respond in a timely manner from the start to the end of a case? See to it if they at least reply within a reasonable time. People should see to it if they also offer various mediums for communication like:

  • Emails
  • Calls
  • Texts
  • Face-to-face meetings

What Affordable Family Lawyers Typically Handle

Marriage

Marriage is a legal status of a couple that allows them to have unique rights, protections, and obligations. Some of these obligations may include taxes and property ownership. All of these can also apply to same-sex couples. Likewise, de-facto couples may also receive similar rights and obligations as a married couple.

Divorce

Not every marriage is successful and it often leads to divorce. This is the process of legal separation and may involve a lot of disputes regarding property and parenting arrangements. Couples can apply for a divorce if they have been separated for at least 12 months. 

Binding Financial Agreements

Binding financial agreements are agreements that outline a couple’s property and financial resources. The agreement will then set out how these will be distributed in the event of a relationship breakdown. Couples should be aware of the number of details, terms, and conditions that may affect this agreement’s outcome. Thus, it’s important to seek a lawyer’s advice about binding financial agreements.

Spousal Maintenance

The Family Law Act 1975 states that a person is responsible for providing financial support to their spouse. This is if the spouse is financially incapable of meeting their own expenses from their personal income or assets. There is no set formula for calculating spousal maintenance. Nevertheless, it’s important to seek a lawyer’s advice for calculating spousal maintenance.

Child Custody/Child Support

When it comes to divorce and separation matters, we can’t rule out the effects it has on children. Parents will have to decide on who gets custody after a divorce or separation. On the other hand, parents should maintain child support even when they’re separated or divorced. Child support is a payment that sustains the basic needs of a child below 18 years.

Adoptions

Adoptions can be costly and may take up a lot of time for both clients and lawyers. This process involves a foster parent attempting to adopt a foster child with the biological parents’ consent. Click here to read our article about adopting a child with an absent father on the birth certificate. 

Establishing Paternity

This section is related to adoption as establishing paternity can determine who the biological father is. Fathers may have to undergo DNA testing to determine if they’re the father of a certain child. Court-ordered paternity tests are used for legal matters related to this section. 

Estate And Inheritance Issues

Every family member has the right to know if assets are properly distributed in a Will. Moreover, things can even get more complicated if there are large estates and if major inheritances are improperly distributed. Family lawyers and estate planning lawyers can help determine the rights of beneficiaries and the validity of a Will. 

Domestic Violence

This is one of the most common issues that family lawyers handle. Anyone can become a victim of domestic violence whether they’re men, women, children, or other family members. Domestic violence is a serious crime and family lawyers can greatly help in penalising the offenders.
