If I can’t afford to pay the full amount of the retainer, can I make monthly payments to my attorney?
Every law firm has its own policies regarding payment arrangements for divorce clients. Often these arrangements are tailored to the specific client. Most attorneys will require a substantial retainer to be paid at the outset of your divorce case. Most will require monthly payments in addition to the initial retainer, or request additional retainers as your case progresses. Ask frank questions of your attorney to have clarity about your responsibility for payment of legal fees. Most attorneys will not finance your litigation.
