In Phase 2, completion and service of the parties Preliminary (financial) Declarations of Disclosures is handled. These services are billed at a quoted flat rate fee.

Once the parties have completed these phases a Paralegal will work with the couple to identify the issues where there is agreement and disagreement and work with the parties to outline what needs to be addressed by the attorney in mediation.

Attorney mediation runs between $1,500 and $5,000 depending on how complex the issues are to be mediated and how many hours of attorney time a couple might need.

We have 3 tiers of pricing for the mediation portion of your case from which to choose. If at any time you feel you need more time to work through your issues, you can pay the difference and move to the next tier.

  • Tier 1 | $2,000 for 5 hours, 1 meeting
  • Tier 2 | $3,200 for 8 hours, 2 meetings
  • Tier 3 | $5,000 for 12.5 hours, 3 meetings.

In addition we can set up the meetings in whatever fashion works for you and your spouse. Options include:

  • 100% virtual via Zoom.
  • 100% in person with all parties meeting at our offices.
  • A combination of virtual and in-person meetings.
