Fees/Donated Services

At the start of each case we will make known the retainer and our hourly rates that apply. In general all professional time (including in telephone calls and emails with parents and attorneys, other preparation, meeting with parents, drafting agreements, and all other activities) is charged at $150 an hour. A retainer will be charged at the start of all cases representing the minimum amount of time we predict the case will require. If that amount of time is passed, an additional retainer may be charged.

If it is determined that more than one mediator will be involved in a case, the method of calculating fees for each professional will be made known.

The best plan for minimizing fees and making excellent progress is for parents to work hard both in their preparation and in their time with us so that they can reach good early resolutions for themselves and their children.

We offer free mediation for couples wishing to consider a No-Divorce-Today Separation instead of immediate divorce. More information about this option is available on our Can We Reconcile? link.
