Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the difference between legal separation and divorce?

    Legal separation allows a couple to live apart and make legal decisions regarding property, child custody, and support without formally ending the marriage. Divorce, on the other hand, legally ends the marriage, and all marital rights and obligations are terminated. Our attorneys can help you determine which option is best for your situation.

  • How is child custody determined in a divorce?

    Child custody is determined based on the best interests of the child, considering factors such as the child’s age, health, emotional ties to each parent, and each parent’s ability to provide for the child’s needs. The court may award sole or joint custody depending on the circumstances. We can guide you through the process to protect your parental rights.

  • How is spousal support (alimony) determined?

    Spousal support is determined based on factors such as the length of the marriage, the financial needs of each spouse, the standard of living during the marriage, and the earning capacity of each spouse. The court may award temporary or permanent spousal support, depending on the case. We can help you understand how these factors apply to your situation.

  • How much does a consultation cost?

    We provide free thirty minute consultations with prospective clients.

  • How much will my fee be?

    Costs are explained during our initial consultation.

  • How can I pay my fee?

    Our Office accepts payments made by cash, check, or card. Cash or checks can be dropped off at the Office, and card payments can be made over the phone.

  • My case is over, how do I get my file?

    The Witmeyer Law Firm retains closed files for six years following the conclusion of representation. A former client can request that their closed file be made available for them to pick up. A release of file must be signed by any former client picking up their file.

  • Do you have a fee schedule for different type of cases?

    We charge hourly fees for most work we do, based on the experience level of the attorney involved. We bill paralegal time at a lower rate per hour. For criminal and traffic cases we generally charge a flat fee, which is a one time fee. We require all of our clients to sign a Retainer Agreement for any fees charged and we also provide an email policy statement.
