Is Divorce Mediation Right For You?
Weighing the costs of your options...
When it comes to getting a divorce, couples typically have three main options:
Litigation, Collaborative, or MEDIATION.
-
MEDIATION - Both spouses jointly hire one Mediator, and meet with them to draft their agreement. The total cost is usually only $2k - $5k for the entire process and can be completed in just weeks!
-
COLLABORATIVE - Both spouses hire their own attorney AND one shared mediator, then try to draft an agreement among the five parties involved. This can average a cost of $10k - $15k, per spouse, and typically takes at least 6-12 months before an agreement is drafted.
-
LITIGATION - Both spouses hire their own attorney and file for divorce in court. The attorneys oppose each other until a trial before a judge decides the outcome (unless a settlement can be reached sooner). This can take anywhere from 1-3 years and cost between $15k - $30k, per each spouse!​
