How much would a family lawyer cost?

Family lawyers’ fees vary considerably. Fees can start from as low as $350 to $400 + GST an hour and up to $600 + GST an hour or more. Family lawyers in Australia charge for their time, usually in 6 minutes increments, so every 6 minutes would cost you between $40 to $70, depending on the hourly rate. At My Fair Share® it would cost you only $49 to find out what is your fair share!
