Fees

Our fees generally depend on the complexity of the matter, the number of consultations required, and the documents to be prepared. For this reason, it would be impossible to list the full fees for each legal service and for divorce mediation here. The process always starts with a preliminary consultation—this is the “entry” meeting. Its fee is shown under “Legal consultation / meeting”.

It is important to emphasize that the fees for consultations and divorce mediation cover only the consultation and the conduct of the mediation process. They do not include the drafting, editing, or attorney countersigning of the necessary documents. These are determined separately as an attorney’s fee based on an individual agreement.

The mediation agreement is the document that clearly records the parties’ joint intention and provides guidance for the court during decision-making. The petition (statement of claim for divorce) is the mandatory filing that must be submitted to the court and is an indispensable condition for initiating divorce proceedings.

For the dissolution of a marriage, it is not necessary in itself to decide on asset division—the court does not require it as a mandatory element. In many cases there is no common property that needs to be divided. In other cases, however, significant movable and immovable assets accumulate during cohabitation, making legal settlement unavoidable.

If the parties also wish to settle asset division, we prepare and countersign the necessary document as attorneys, and ensure that it is recorded in a legally sound, clear, and enforceable form.

Dr. Dorottya Farkas LL.M. I am a family-law specialist, attorney-at-law and mediator focusing on divorce matters. There are many ways to divorce. Our office primarily aims for mutual agreement and a humane closure, but if needed we also provide separate legal representation.

Legal consultations can also be held online, so Hungarian clients living abroad or farther away can also use our services.

Before divorce, an attorney consultation is strongly recommended so that your divorce can be resolved peacefully as soon as possible. In litigation, I work to ensure that, whenever possible, a fair and proportionate settlement is reached between the parties.

In every family-law matter there is an opportunity for a peaceful closure—whether it is divorce, a property dispute or issues concerning a shared child. During mediation, I help clients minimise harm and conclude the matter with as little resentment as possible.

Client meetings are available only with prior appointment. If you cancel within 24 hours before the scheduled time, the full fee must be paid. To arrange an appointment, please contact us at:
