Client Income & Estate Minimums

Determining client minimums for income and the value of the estate to afford our services can vary depending on various factors such as the complexity of the case, geographic location, and specific needs of the client. However, here's a general guideline:

Income: Clients should have a steady income that allows them to cover their basic living expenses and afford the fees associated with the divorce or separation process. While there is no specific minimum income requirement, clients should have sufficient financial stability to comfortably navigate the process without significant financial strain.

Value of Estate: Clients should have assets and property of significant value to justify the investment in a comprehensive divorce or separation process. This may include real estate, investments, retirement accounts, and other valuable assets. While there is no specific minimum value of the estate required, clients should have assets worth protecting and dividing during the divorce or separation process.
