Divorce & Family Law
South Dakota Divorce and Family Law Lawyers assist people with issues relating to family matters, retirement planning, elder care and estate administration. SD Divorce and Family Law Lawyers also represent individuals experiencing or contemplating marriage, divorce, separation, child custody issues or retirement.

Most Family Law services are normally billed at an hourly rate or on a flat fee basis. A retainer or pre-payment is customary and will vary depending on the complexity of your legal issue.  Divorce fees can vary widely depending on the circumstances.  Contested divorces with parties that disagree on many key issues will generally be more expensive. Uncontested divorces with parties that have resolved their key issues typically cost less. Estate Settlement fees are usually billed based on a percentage of the size of the estate.  Larger and more complex estates typically cost more.  Some states have established standard fees based on the size of the estate.
