Legal fees are set by your agreement with the lawyer you hire. Most lawyers will bill you for their work at an hourly rate, while requiring the advance payment of a sum of money known as a retainer, against will the lawyer will bill and deduct his fee as it is earned. How much the retainer is depends on the nature and complexity or simplicity of your divorce action.
