Preliminary Agreements

Joy Rosenthal

In this section, we review several different kinds of agreements:

  • between us as a class
  • the difference between agreements and contracts
  • between lawyer and client in domestic relations matters (which have a slightly different retainer from other civil matters)
  • the difference between promises (contracts) made by spouses and those between people doing business.
