Arrangements for covering the cost of legal representation during marital dissolution proceedings that do not involve full upfront payment are often utilized. These can encompass various structured schedules for remitting agreed-upon fees. For example, instead of a large initial retainer, a client might agree to make smaller, more frequent installments over a defined period.
Such financial strategies provide increased access to legal counsel for individuals who might otherwise be unable to afford it, ensuring equitable representation in court. Historically, securing competent legal assistance in these matters was often limited to those with substantial financial resources; these arrangements represent a shift towards greater accessibility. This broadened access promotes fairer outcomes and protects the rights of all parties involved.
