How come my divorce doesn't qualify under 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 items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
