Potential clients are often concerned with the expense associated with resolving their family disputes. \u00a0It\u2019s understandable as these matters can accrue substantial legal fees.\u00a0 In this week\u2019s #FamilyFriday article, ERA Law Group, LLC discusses ways you can mitigate your expenses and how we can help!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Mediation<\/strong>. Mediation<\/a> is often a less litigious and less expensive means to resolve your dispute.\u00a0 Often families need the assistance of a third party that can help guide the parties, fueled by emotion, towards a resolution.\u00a0 The resolution is ultimately up to the parties but having that guide can be beneficial and save you the time and energy of duking it out in the courtroom.\u00a0 ERA offers mediation services for families that are separating, needing a modification, attempting to develop a parenting plan, drafting a property settlement agreement, and more.\u00a0 Our fees are $250.00 per hour to be split equally among the parties.<\/li>\n
  2. Uncontested Divorce by 12 Month Separation<\/strong>. In those cases where families have been separated for 12 months and are proceeding with their divorce uncontested, ERA offers fixed fee services ranging from $500.00 to $1,500.00.\u00a0 Generally these partners will have a Separation Agreement already settling all disputes but this is not required.<\/li>\n
  3. Uncontested Divorce by Mutual Consent<\/strong>. In these cases, married couples without minor children can get divorced without having to wait a certain period of time.\u00a0 To be divorced by mutual consent, the couple must have settled all issues relating to their marriage.\u00a0 ERA offers fixed fee services to complete the agreement and file the divorce.\u00a0 These range from $2,500 to $3,500 depending upon the amount of marital property.<\/li>\n
  4. Separation Agreements<\/strong>. You and your spouse want to discuss and settle issues related to any joint bank accounts, cars, real property, debt, retirement, and alimony before filing for divorce<\/a>. \u00a0Hiring an attorney to draft the settlement agreement<\/a> to ensure it contains all necessary contract language and covers all potential property disputes is important to make sure you truly have settled all property issues.\u00a0 Additionally, sometimes parties think they\u2019re on the same page only to learn that they\u2019re not. \u00a0Discussing these issues initially allows for a smooth settlement and divorce. ERA fixed fees range from $2,000 to $3,000.<\/li>\n
  5. Parenting Plans<\/strong>. Parenting Plans encourage parents to focus on the needs of their children, how best to co-parent, and how to anticipate and\/or address the various changes in their lives at the time of its creation and in the future. It also allows the parties to decide what is in the best interest of their children rather than leaving it up to a Judge.\u00a0 Often the Judgment of Absolute Divorce is silent on many issues which results in parties having to come back to Court for future modifications.\u00a0 A well-drafted Parenting Plan can resolve many, if not all, of these issues.\u00a0 More importantly, it allows parents to come together as parents \u2013 not as spouses.\u00a0 They may no longer be spouses but they will always be parents.\u00a0 ERA fixed fees range from $1,500 to $3,500.<\/li>\n
  6. Pre-Nuptial and Post-Nuptial Agreements<\/strong>. Marriage is both a romantic and business relationship. With very few exceptions nearly everything is or becomes marital.\u00a0 As such, nearly everything can become subject of costly litigation in the event of divorce or death.\u00a0 A well drafted and all-inclusive pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement will limit many of these issues.\u00a0 For example, the agreement will identify what is and is not marital property, each parties\u2019 rights in the event of death or divorce, predetermine rights and obligations for spousal support<\/a>, inheritance, and more.\u00a0 In addition, the agreement will have a complete financial disclosure including each spouses\u2019 assets, liabilities, and income.\u00a0 ERA\u2019s fixed fees range from $2,500 to $5,000.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
