The media has recently highlighted large companies now offering ‘off the shelf’ divorces and family related legal advice.
The issue of costs is understandably a significant concern for anyone pursuing Divorce, Separation or Children matters and such ‘do it yourself’ services may seem like a cheaper option. However, even with ‘off the shelf’ packages, costs can soon rise if you require that extra bit of help completing forms and need advice on what to do next.
Family law can be complex. Using the expertise of a qualified and experienced professional can add value to your case – increasing the chance of you getting the outcome you seek and negotiating a better settlement for you.
