Traditional divorce with attorneys can easily cost $15,000–$30,000 per person—and you never know the final bill. There's a better, more affordable way.
Work with a Professional Mediator
Instead of expensive litigation, work through your decisions with guidance from a divorce mediator. I'll walk you through each decision, help you stay productive if discussions get challenging, and provide important context along the way.
Sessions: 2 hours, $440 each
Timeline: Most couples need 2–3 sessions; some finish in one
Once you've reached agreement, I'll create all your court documents.
Flat-Rate Paperwork—No Surprises
Your uncontested divorce filing includes 8–16 documents, depending on your situation. I'll prepare everything based on your agreements and ensure it's completed correctly.
Flat rate includes:
- All required documents
- Unlimited revisions
- All your questions answered
| Case Type | Cost |
|---|---|
| With children under 18 | $1,400 |
| No children under 18 | $1,100 |
Save Thousands, Get It Done Right
Instead of $15,000–$30,000 per person, your total cost per couple is typically under $3,000.
Example (2 mediation sessions):
| Service | With Children | No Children |
|---|---|---|
| Mediation (2 sessions) | $880 | $880 |
| Flat-rate paperwork | $1,400 | $1,100 |
| TOTAL | $2,280 | $1,980 |
Most couples split costs evenly, so each person pays about half.
Peace of Mind
You'll have the confidence that comes from working with a professional who ensures your divorce is settled correctly and fairly.
