How come my situation doesn't qualify for your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce includes issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an alternative. It is hard to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
