How the Fixed Fee Divorce Mediation Package Helps You

Most divorce mediators charge by time, at rates of $300 to $400 per hour. They’ll tell you there’s no way to predict the final cost. Maybe that makes some sense, but it doesn’t give you much peace of mind.

My approach is different. I don’t bill by the hour. There’s one fixed charge, so you’ll know the total cost right from the outset. You won’t be guessing or worrying about the final cost.

The total cost is based on a sliding scale, depending on your circumstances.

If you have children under 23 and you own real estate: $3,200.

If you have children under 23 but you do not own real estate: $2,700.

If you do not have children under 23 but you own real estate: $2,700.

If you do not have children under 23 and you do not own real estate: $2,200.

Half is paid at the outset, and the balance is paid at the final meeting when you sign all your papers.

The fixed price includes:

• Three meetings, either in person or by Zoom
• Preparation of all documents you’ll need for a joint “no-fault” divorce

Two Options for First Meeting. There’s no charge for either one.

1. If you’d like to learn about mediation and get acquainted a bit, you can schedule a 30-minute “meet and greet,” either in person or by Zoom.

2. If you want to discuss your situation in depth, you can schedule a meeting that lasts an hour and a half. I’ll send you two forms to complete beforehand.

Payment methods. Payment may be by check, cash, Venmo, or credit card.
