Keeping Your Legal Fees Down During Divorce

Legal fees in a divorce can quickly escalate. While specialized advice is essential, you might find yourself paying a partner in a leading family law firm $1000 per hour—yes, really.

But there are ways you can keep your legal costs down.

Get Dedicated, Specialised Personal Support

You need more than a divorce lawyer or attorney - you need a divorce wing-woman.

Choosing wisely who you work with, including your legal team is critical. As your divorce coach/strategist I can guide you through selecting the right lawyer for your specific situation—one who is specialised, expert, and aligned with your values and needs. 

I also support you practically & emotionally, so you make empowered decisions that are in your best long term interests - leading you to the future you most want for yourself.

Do You Even Need a Lawyer?

There are other ways to move yourself through divorce, without necessarily needing to “lawyer up'.”

It’s worth exploring alternatives such as Collaborative Family Law Services, Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners (FDRP) or Mediation before deciding on legal representation. While not necessarily a “cheap” option, it can still save you to use alternatives other than a lawyer-to-lawyer divorce.

What I Can Do For You As Divorce Coach/Strategist

Having a strategist on your team is invaluable, helping you manage the emotional and practical aspects of divorce so that you don’t end up paying more than you need to.

I’ll help you stay focused on the future, be solutions-oriented, communicate clearly and calmly, and respond to your legal team in a timely manner. All of these are essential steps in minimising legal fees.

Working with a coach or strategist will also help you provide clear, transparent instructions, maintain realistic expectations, communicate calmly, and stay organised—all of which keep your legal costs down.

Leaning on your lawyer for emotional or practical support or parenting advice, even what to say to your ex or ex-MIL gets expensive, fast. And, that’s not what family lawyers are necessarily experts in, right?

Choosing to work with a dedicated specialist who can offer this support - a coach - keeps your legal fees down.

It’s an investment that actually saves you.

A Clarity Consult with me has been a game-changer for so many of my clients, none of whom wished they had waited longer to get in touch.

It's a fraction of the cost of hiring a lawyer and sets you up with a smart strategy, hand-selected support team - including connections with savvy, values aligned lawyers - and the emotional support to get you through with the lowest cost - financially, energetically & emotionally - to your best outcome.
