Flat-Fee Family Law Attorneys in Pennsylvania, West Virginia & Ohio
Divorce, custody, and support already create enough uncertainty. Your legal fees should not create more of it. The Skeen Firm offers flat-fee representation for qualifying family-law matters with clear expectations, practical strategy, and a focus on moving your family forward.
Financing and payment-plan options may be available for qualifying matters.
You Should Understand the Cost Before the Case Takes Over Your Life
Traditional hourly billing can make people hesitate before calling their lawyer, asking a question, or discussing strategy. That uncertainty is especially difficult during a divorce, custody dispute, or support case.
Our flat-fee family law model is designed to create better visibility into legal fees for qualifying matters while keeping the focus where it belongs: solving the problem.
Not every family-law case can or should be handled the same way. We evaluate the issues, level of conflict, jurisdiction, and likely path forward before determining whether a flat-fee structure is appropriate.

Clearer Numbers Before You Move Forward
The following fees reflect common qualifying matters and are intended to help clients understand the structure of our flat-fee program. The exact scope and price depend on the specific facts of the case.
Uncontested Divorce
For qualifying divorce matters in which the parties have reached agreement on the material issues.
Uncontested Custody
For qualifying matters where the parents have substantially agreed on the parenting arrangement.
Contested Custody

Combined Case Cap
A qualifying combined divorce, custody, and support matter may be subject to a $7,500 flat-fee cap before trial-level expansion.
These amounts are general program pricing for qualifying matters and are not a quote or guarantee for any particular case. Court costs, filing fees, experts, extraordinary litigation, trial work, and other expenses may be separate depending on the engagement.
