For an ncontested divorce, what happens if I do not file a pettition response?

Dean Michael Esposito
Answered by attorney Dean Michael Esposito
Divorce lawyer at Esposito Law Firm
If you have reached an agreement, it should be reduced to writing in the form of a Judgment and filed with the court. If this is done, then you do not need to file a response.

Can I make my husband leave our home since I was the one who bought it?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Barbara Peyton (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peyton & Associates
The only reason the courts will order one party or the other to leave a home is domestic violence or threat of the same. the fact that you took title to the house after you were a married woman creates a presumption that the house is community property. You either have a claim for reimbursement of a separate property contribution or the community is entitled to receive a percentage of the value of the home for payments made on the house during the marriage. I think you will need a family law attorney to lead you through this maze.

How do I nicely tell my attorney that he is billing me for ridiculous things in a way that he will cancel the charges?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tres Andrew Porter (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Offices of Tres A. Porter
The first question is whether or not the information was pertinent to your case. If it was, then the next question is whether or not the billing was reasonable. In most law offices .1 hrs is the minimum billing unit (6 minutes) and most fee agreements will spell that out rather clearly, it simply is too cumbersome to try and bill in units of less than tenths of an hour. It sounds like you had three billing increments of .2, .1, and .1 with an attorney billing rate of $350 per hour, which is about the minimum possible billing for something like what you have described. In my practice, I frequently round these down or combine something like this into one entry, but some people insist on seeing every individual charge, which is your right as the client. If this truly bothers you, then you and your attorney should have a meeting regarding going forward because in most cases billing entries like this are very common and you and your attorney are likely going to run into a number of difficulties in the future if you find this billing to be "ridiculous". You have not mentioned how far you are in the proceedings, but in the scheme of most litigation an entry of .4 hours is a small fraction of the overall cost. I am a sole partner and owner of my firm so I have the ability to absorb or give a courtesy to the client for entries like this but depending on the content or nature of the information exchanged in your 10 sentences I would consider the billing within the bounds of reasonable. Obviously if it had little to no bearing on any issue in your case, this would be a different story. You certainly have a right to ask to have the amount reduced, but if one of my clients questioned my bills over something like this, I would likely refund whatever retainer was remaining and request that they find different representation because the two of you are obviously not on the same page.
