FLAT-FEE DIVORCE MEDIATION

What is Divorce Mediation?​

 

Mediation is a cost-conscious, private, high integrity alternative to a litigated divorce. When couples choose to mediate their divorce, they not only avoid the costly and slow moving court system, they have the opportunity to negotiate a divorce settlement that is customized to their circumstances. They stay in control of their family plan.

 

Couples experience a deep sense of accomplishment and typically greater empathy for one another when they come to the table and work through what could have been barriers to settlement. If you and your spouse are looking for a conflict-managed way to end your marriage, mediation with Laura McGee will save you thousands of dollars in legal fees and accelerate you through your divorce process.​ Laura will ensure you are each fully prepared before you begin your mediation, so no time is wasted. Together you will set an agenda, strengthen and confirm areas of agreement, and mediate those issues that still need resolution or fine-tuning.

 

Laura files your legal action with th court, helps you with the required disclosures, and drafts your Marital Settlement Agreement as part of your divorce mediation process. You will never have to appear in court.​​

 

What will your Divorce Mediation cost?

 

Leave Strong Divorce Services offers a flat-fee approach with no upfront retainer. Your fee will be based on the complexity of your case, and flexible installment plans are available. While we refer to our work as "Divorce Mediation Services," Laura McGee is also a co-parenting specialist who frequently assists unmarried parents in co-parenting mediation. During your Discovery Session, Laura will help you understand the services you need and provide a clear estimate of the cost.

Can I Work with Laura at an Hourly Fee Rate?

Yes. If you require only a few hours of mediation or need assistance with a post-divorce modification, you may work with Laura McGee at an hourly rate of $360.

 

What Additional CCosts can I EXpect?

 

​1) The filing and e-filing fees, postage and miscellaneous hard costs. These are billed at a flat-rate of of $500.

2) You may need other experts to help you value your assets or liabilities. You may have an independent legal advisor or divorce coach, and you may need a QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order) to divide your retirement. These types of expenses are not part of mediation flat-fee, but even these costs can be managed, as Laura can refer you to her trusted resources to keep your costs under control.​
