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.

Is what I have a default divorce document?

Answered by attorney Willie Stephen Graves (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Graves Law Firm
It is not a default divorce or the beginning of it. It's an order telling him he has to have you served with the divorce petition by the deadline specified in the order or the case will be dismissed. If you want a divorce, you should file an answer to the divorce petition and ask for a hearing, then SHOW UP for the hearing and tell the judge you think you're entitled to a share of retirement benefits earned during the marriage. You're right that you are entitled to your portion of anything accumulated during the marriage, including retirement benefits. If you're keeping the kids, you're also entitled to child support in accordance with guidelines, and without legal advice you have no way of knowing whether you're entitled to more (or less) than you've agreed to. You really need a lawyer. Have you tried calling legal aid or asked a lawyer about a time payment program or trying to get the judge to order your spouse to help pay your lawyer fees? Good luck.
