Affordable Legal Solutions: The Ultimate Guide to Flat Rate Family Law Services
The family lawyers at Lenehan Musgrave offer affordable, flat rate services to provide you with the professionally completed, lawyer-reviewed documents that you need.
What are Flat Rate Legal Services?
Flat rate legal services are a pricing strategy used by many businesses to charge customers a set fee for a particular service, rather than billing based on the number of hours worked. This flat-rate pricing model is a straightforward approach that appeals to customers as it enables them to manage their budgets more easily.
Benefits of Choosing Flat Rate Legal Solutions
The advantages of flat rate legal solutions apply to both individuals and businesses. By offering a set fee for legal services upfront, clients can have a clear idea of their expenses and options.
When Do People Opt for Fixed Rate Legal Services?
Sometimes, during the separation and divorce process, individuals choose to represent themselves. If you do, you will still need to file specific family court documents. Completing them properly is important to ensure you meet all court requirements, and to avoid unnecessary delays in your case. Our flat rate services help you have the legal documents you need to put you in a good position to represent yourself going forward.

Application for Child Support (when parenting is not an issue)
$747.50 (HST INCLUDED)
We understand the frustration of waiting for an appointment with an Intake Worker at the Supreme Court (Family Division) to complete documentation to allow confirmation of child support being paid, or the creation of an Order to enforce support and potential expenses related to childcare.
Our flat rate service offers you the ability to enter the system with lawyer-reviewed, properly prepared documents that you can present to the Court. We will prepare everything required to file an Application to seek child support and daycare, or other related expenses when primary care of the child is agreed upon by the parents.
If your child is living with you and you want to ensure that there is documentation in place for both the payment of support and to ensure that the benefits you are entitled to, through the Federal/Provincial Government, are obtained by you, our flat rate process lets you present that completed documentation to the Court and simply request a Hearing date.

$1,400 (HST INCLUDED)
Often by the time parties have signed a Separation Agreement, they need a break before finalizing their divorce. We understand. The family lawyers at Lenehan Musgrave are pleased to offer the ability to finalize your uncontested divorce at a set price.
