What will a mediated divorce cost?
The cost of a mediated divorce will depend on the complexity of the issues such as the diversity of the assets and equitable division of the liabilities, the ability of the spouses to work together to resolve issues, the level of understanding each spouse brings to the table, and the time expended on reaching a settlement agreement that is acceptable to both parties. Mediation cost is based on a per hour charge. Since both parties share the cost of the professional mediator rather than each party retaining individual counsel, along with the efficiency of the mediation process, the cost of a mediated divorce is significantly less and then the adversarial divorce.
