How expensive is mediation?
The cost of mediation varies with the number of sessions. The total cost, including the drafting of the Agreement, is usually between fifteen hundred and three thousand dollars, but can be more or less. The cost of mediation is almost always less than having two lawyers negotiate for you. This is so, even when the cost of advisory attorneys is added to the cost of mediation. The cost of litigation is almost always many times greater than mediation. Reduced fees for mediation are available for those couples facing severe financial stress.
