By Jim Jeffcott<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inevitably during a family law consultation the question of cost is addressed.\u00a0 Usually and understandably, the client asks the question, \u201cWhat is all this going to cost?\u201d<\/p>\n

I always answer that I cannot give any useful reply to the question.\u00a0 Often we do not even know which process option we will be using to address the matter.\u00a0 Even if we did know which process we would be using, we cannot reasonably predict the cost because we do not know what the response of the other party will be and we cannot know all of the issues which will arise during the process or what barriers to resolution may arise.\u00a0 I advise them that the two most significant drivers of cost will be the extent of the conflict that exists or arises and the complication of their particular circumstances.<\/p>\n

Since I do adversarial and non-adversarial processes, I am able to comment about my experience. I can indicate that litigation tends to be the most expensive process by far.\u00a0 Arbitration tends to be less expensive because we have more control over our process and we choose the decision-maker, who tends to have expertise in the areas in dispute.\u00a0 This is despite the fact that we have to pay the arbitrator and often for the facility where the proceeding takes place.\u00a0 Collaborative process and mediation are usually less expensive options, although they can sometimes become quite expensive as well.\u00a0 I acknowledge that when using the team approach in Collaborative, there can be a higher up front cost than for some other processes because there are often several professionals involved.\u00a0 My experience however, is that Collaborative Process tends to be more cost effective because we distribute work to be done by the appropriate expert in the circumstance (such as having the parties work on a parenting plan with the Family Relations Professional).<\/p>\n

What I do is tell my client that we will first need to determine what process we will be using to resolve the dispute and then I can give them my opinion about what I expect the first steps to cost.\u00a0 We make a plan based on those expectations and the financial retainer that I ask for is based on what we decide.\u00a0 I let the client know that I will try to give them an idea of cost as we proceed through each step in the process and that I am always willing to discuss cost and work with them to achieve a resolution, in the most cost effective way possible.<\/p>\n

My experience seems to be borne out in the experiences of others, as is discussed in the recent article \u201cThe Cost of Family Law Disputes.\u201d\u00a0 The URL is attached for your information.<\/p>\n
