Can I get spousal support what are rights

John Michael Frick
Answered by attorney John Michael Frick (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Reid Dennis Frick, PC
A typical divorce attorney charges anywhere between $300-600 per hour depending upon the lawyer's level of experience, location, and current workload.Many divorce attorneys offer an initial consultation for a flat fee.  A few may offer free consultations, but my advice is to steer clear of those.  I personally offer a 90-minute initial consultation for a low flat fee of $500.  This is fairly representative of what to expect in the North Texas area.The amount of your initial retainer depends on the complexity of your marital estate, whether there are minor children, the county where you live, and how aggressively you anticipate your husband will be in any divorce proceeding.  For a relatively simple divorce without children involving a straightforward marital estate, I routinely request an initial retainer of $5,000.  If the parties are in relative agreement and disagreements do not arise regarding issues the spouses haven't thought of before filing and the spouses put in the legwork instead of requiring a paralegal or attorney to hunt down information from third party sources, we can occasionally complete a divorce for that sum of money depending on the court the case is assigned to.  This is not typical, however.Ordinarily, funds from the community estate will be used to pay for each party's attorney.  If one spouse does not have access to those funds, the court can order interim attorney fees to be paid from any account that is part of the parties' marital estate.

Do you have to get an official divorce before you can get officially married to someone else?

An informal marriage may or may not require a divorce. There is a presumption that an informal marriage has ended or did not exist if no divorce suit is filed for a given period of time after the parties separate. There are too many unexplained facts in your question to provide a specific answer. I suggest you hire a lawyer.

We filed a divorce but the lawyer of my husband is holding up the case, can I file something to get this resolved?

If your husband's attorney will not help you finalize the divorce, your best bet is to hire an attorney of your own. Because your case is almost finalized, it shouldn't cost you a great deal to find someone to help you get it done. It could be that the attorney hasn't been paid by your ex, so he's withholding the final paperwork. Or there could be other issues at play with his attorney causing the delay (illness, travel, etc.). You just never know.
