Mediation Cost

More than 90% of divorces are settled out of court through mediation or negotiation.

At Neutral Mediation, we believe in providing affordable and transparent pricing to help couples navigate the divorce process with minimal stress. Our mediation services are designed to save time, reduce conflict, and avoid the significant expenses often associated with litigation. We offer both virtual and in-person mediation options to meet your specific needs.

Virtual Mediation

Virtual mediation is priced at $250 per hour per party, making it a cost-effective solution for couples who prefer the convenience of online sessions. This option allows participants to resolve their divorce matters from the comfort of their own homes while still receiving professional guidance.

In-Person Mediation

In-person mediation is available at $500 per hour per party. If our mediator needs to travel to your chosen location for an in-person session, the travel time is billed at $500 per hour, or $250 per hour per party. This ensures that you have access to personalized, face-to-face support while covering the mediator's time and expenses.

Additional Work Outside Mediation Sessions

Any work performed outside of the scheduled mediation sessions is billed at $250 per hour in 15-minute increments and is split equally between both parties. This includes tasks such as:

• Evaluating documents related to the divorce process.
• Creating and revising necessary documents for agreements.
• Answering follow-up questions via email, mail, phone, or text.

These services ensure that all aspects of your mediation are handled professionally and efficiently, providing clarity and resolution even after the sessions have concluded.

Factors Influencing the Total Cost

The total cost of a fully mediated divorce varies depending on the complexity of the case. Couples with straightforward situations may require fewer hours of mediation, while those with more intricate financial or parenting matters might need additional time to reach an agreement. Factors that can influence the cost include:

• Whether the couple has children and requires a detailed parenting plan.
• The division of assets beyond standard bank accounts, such as investment portfolios, retirement accounts, or business interests.
• Resolving matters related to debts, such as credit card balances, personal loans, or mortgages.
• Managing real estate properties, including a primary residence, rental properties, or vacation homes.

Every case is unique, and we tailor our services to meet your individual needs, helping you and your partner achieve an equitable agreement. By choosing Neutral Mediation, you gain access to professional, impartial guidance at a fraction of the cost of traditional litigation. This allows you to focus on moving forward with your life while protecting your financial resources.
