Flat-Fee Services

For clients that just need a 30 minute consult and have a clear idea of the terms their legal agreement will contain, this service of an initial meeting and draft contract can be provided on a flat-fee basis.  This only applies to Prenuptial Agreements, Postnuptial Agreements or Separation Agreements where the parties already have an understanding of the main issues, and there is no expectation of having contested issues.

Flat-Fee Prenups

For couples getting married in Maryland or DC, Regina can draft a prenuptial agreement to address property issues and alimony, or review an agreement that has already been prepared, within 5 business days after the client completes the required forms and schedules the 30 minute phone conference.  Payments can be made online, but consults must be scheduled at least 30 days prior to the wedding.

Mutual Consent Divorce

In Maryland, a Mutual Consent Divorce is a stream-lined process available for couples seeking a no-fault, uncontested divorce.  If a couple has a general understanding of how they want to divide their assets, share time with the children, and/or address any issues related to child support or alimony, then an attorney can write up a formal contract, which is referred to as a Marital Settlement Agreement that can be filed with the courts.  We can not only assist with the preparation of this Agreement, but also file the required divorce documents electronically in order to expedite the divorce process as long as one party has been a resident of Maryland for at least 6 months.  This Mutual Consent Divorce option is a relatively inexpensive process that appeals to many seeking to finalize a divorce within a few months.

Flat-Fee Mediation

Families interested in working on a Parenting Plan, Custody or Separation Agreement outside of court using Regina as a neutral mediator can reserve in advance a 2-3 hour time slot for this service.  Weekend hours are available upon request.
