Known-donor and co-parenting
Paper for a family you are building on purpose.
A known-donor agreement for one party is $995. A co-parenting or multi-parent intent agreement is $1,295. Independent review of the other party’s draft is $550.
New Jersey’s rule that a semen donor is not a legal parent applies when the donation goes through a licensed physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice nurse. A contract after an at-home insemination does not, by itself, cut off parental rights.
I will not represent the donor and the recipient in the same matter. Dual representation is not a flat fee and is not work I take.
Settlement and parenting-plan review
A second set of eyes on paper you already have.
Review of a settlement agreement or parenting plan is $450. If a Case Information Statement and a child-support worksheet are part of the review, the fee is $750–1,100.
That is review and a written memo. It is not negotiating the other side’s lawyer into a new deal, and it is not appearing in court.
Other agreements
Other agreements I can draft or review.
Beyond the published donor, co-parenting, and settlement-review fees above, I also draft or review other family agreements in this practice area. Each one is a flat fee quoted for that matter once I know the facts. I have not settled standardized published prices for these yet; when I do, they will appear here and on the fees page. Until then, the fee is set after a conversation — or after I accept the matter under the usual caseload and resonance rules and we sign a written retainer.
Where the agreement involves two sides with opposing interests, I represent one party only. I do not dual-represent both parties to a prenuptial, postnuptial, cohabitation, separation, or similar agreement.
Agreements I can draft or review on that case-by-case flat-fee basis include:
- Prenuptial agreement
- Postnuptial agreement
- Cohabitation agreement for unmarried partners
- Separation agreement (terms before or without a full divorce filing package)
- Standalone parenting plan or parenting-time agreement
- Temporary parenting or support stipulation
- Grandparent visitation consent agreement
- Blended-family or stepparent parenting agreement
- Shared-expense or household contribution agreement for partners living together
- Pet custody or pet care agreement as part of a family separation
Court costs, filing fees, service, and certified copies are extra where they apply. A different agreement in the same practice area can be discussed; if it fits my competence and calendar, I will quote it the same way.
I take all matters based on my case load and whether the case resonates with me. A meeting alone does not establish an attorney-client relationship. That relationship begins only after I have accepted the case and we have both signed a written retainer agreement.
