Hi All
I'm trying to determine a reasonable amount that a lawyer would charge for writing up a separation agreement. My ex and I used a lawyer anf agreed to split the cost. We were married for 5 yrs and have two kids. We had a house together. The lawyer produced a standard agreement ...we figured out the custody arrangements to which he included. He met with my ex once and we all met together to sign. There was no bickering that involved the lawyer - just some standard questions via email.
The problem now arises in that my ex used this lawyer for other services that did not involve me. He has given her an all inclusive bill and did not break down the cost for the Sep agreement. My ex now thinks that 4k of the bill is related to the separatiom agreement. This seems quite high to me. If the lawyer won't break it down then I am left trying g to found out what average costs might be. Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks
