Family law is where legal-plan marketing usually gets slippery. Here’s the version we’d want to hear ourselves.
What’s a covered service
- Uncontested divorce, separation, or annulment — covered, after a 180-day waiting period, for the member, uncontested matters only
- Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements — covered after 180 days
- Uncontested minor-child adoption — covered after 180 days
- Uncontested name change — covered after 180 days
What’s advice + letters + 25% off (not full representation)
Contested matters — custody fights, contested divorce, support disputes. For these, the plan gives you unlimited consultation (including on situations already underway), document review, letters where appropriate, legal research, and 25% off the firm’s hourly rate for representation. It does not hand the case to a lawyer to run as an included service — and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling, not helping.
Who this is genuinely right for
People who want a lawyer to call all month while they navigate a family situation — what to document, what to sign, what to expect — and a real discount when representation is needed. At $49.95/month, that ongoing access is the value. If what you need today is a courtroom advocate on an emergency basis, start with your state bar’s referral service, and we’ll be honest about that on the first call.
