1. Full Service Mediation
Fixed Fee Divorce Mediation Services: $3450 total or $1725pp
Many clients want the comfort of a fixed price. This fee is paid in 3 installments. This service includes an hour and a half information, "opening" court case meeting, up to 6 hours of mediation, the completion of all court dissolution documents, a settlement agreement, and the filing of all documents. (excludes the court required filing fees)
During our mediation sessions we will cover all of the following areas of a divorce and/or child custody:
-
Child Custody and Parental Tme Agreements
-
Spousal and Child Support
-
Property and Asset Division
-
Marital Settlement Agreement Information
-
Filing of all required documentation for a divorce and child custody.
If you have begun your divorce but would like help with mediation or finalizing your divorce, we can do this at our hourly rate of $250.00/Hr.
Please note, unlike other attorneys and mediators I do NOT require an "escrow" account or a retainer. My clients pay at the time of service. In addition to our flat rate fee the county has separate filing fees that approximate $435-$500.
Each individual mediation is unique and the time it takes varies. However, most mediation sessions can be completed in 3-4 hours. The length of time is influenced by the participants. If you need more than 4 hours of mediation there will be an additional charge of $250/Hr. On average we will complete your entire divorce in 45 days.
