Going through separation is stressful enough without worrying about an open-ended legal bill.
At Bennett Family Law, we offer fixed fees for many common family law matters, so you know what you will pay before any work begins.
We can do this because, while every family’s situation is personal, the legal steps to resolve many matters follow a predictable path. Where the work is contained and well-defined, you should not have to guess at the cost.
Every fixed-fee quote is confirmed in writing before we start, and we will always tell you up front what is and is not included including GST and any third-party costs such as court filing fees.
If a matter turns out to be more complex than a fixed fee can fairly cover, we will talk to you about it before any extra cost is incurred.
For matters that cannot be neatly defined contested proceedings, complex financial arrangements, or high-net-worth disputes we will provide a tailored quote or work to a clear hourly rate, with costs disclosed in writing as the law requires.
Clear pricing. No surprises.
Just straightforward family law support when you need it.
