Lawyers can charge a "max" of whatever they can get a client to pay. However, you need to answer the case to get on the list for a modification conference. Your answer will be late, and a motion may be required to do it now. The modification process is meant to be user friendly, and you do not need a lawyer. I would charge only a few hundred dollars to get you started.
