Document background
The Divorce Retainer Agreement is essential for establishing clear expectations and legal obligations between attorneys and clients during divorce proceedings. This document is required in all U.S. jurisdictions before commencing divorce representation and must comply with state-specific regulations and bar association requirements. The agreement typically includes detailed information about fees, scope of services, client obligations, and termination conditions. It protects both the attorney and client by clearly defining the parameters of representation and financial arrangements. The document should be carefully reviewed and signed before any substantive legal work begins.
