Flat Fee Divorce Mediation Packages

At Conscious Divorce, we don’t think your legal fees should be shrouded in mystery.

We strive to bring transparency and awareness into all areas of divorce, including what it will cost.

You’ll know upfront what you’ll pay with our all-inclusive, flat-fee mediation packages, thus eliminating the anxiety of unknown, mounting legal bills.

If you would like to bypass a lengthy court case and are willing to participate in mediator-guided settlement discussions, mediation is an excellent and cost-effective choice for settling your divorce case. What is Mediation?

Option 1: “Basic” Divorce Mediation

We offer the “Basic” Divorce Mediation Flat Fee Package as a lower cost, amicable alternative for divorcing couples that may need some extra help in ironing out the details of an agreement and making it legal.

We’ve streamlined this flat-fee package to provide the basics, which include one 2-hour mediation session, phone/email support, prep work, and drafting of all Court required documents.

This flat-rate option is geared to a simpler divorce in which there are no serious disagreements about child custody, not a lot of assets and no self-employment or business interests to be divided.

If your financial circumstances are complex or if you and your spouse have trouble communicating, we suggest you consider our "Comprehensive" Divorce Mediation option.

Option 2: “Comprehensive” Divorce Mediation

We offer the “Comprehensive” Divorce Mediation Flat Fee Package as an affordable, full-service option for separating parties who may also need additional support and attorney guidance on issues such as child custody and visitation, property division and support issues.

This option includes up to three 2-hour mediation sessions, phone/email support, prep work, drafting, and filing of all Court required documents.

It also includes preparation of the financial disclosure documents and up to two revisions of the final agreement. We also manage all Court filings, service, and correspondence so you don’t have to worry about the details.

This approach ensures that you are receiving the professional assistance you need to reach an equitable agreement and finalize your divorce while staying out of Court.

*Mediation fees do not include court fees. As of 1/1/2015 the filing fee for a Dissolution of Marriage case is $435 in most counties in California. A current list of filing fees can be found online here for San Diego County, Los Angeles County, and Orange County.

What if we need more time to mediate?

We recognize that sometimes, unforeseen issues arise during mediation that need to be resolved so the parties can avoid going to court.

If your issues are (or become) more complicated and cannot be concluded during the mediation sessions included in the flat-rate package, additional mediation sessions can be purchased “a la carte” as needed, at an hourly rate of $360.

Everyone's Situation Is Unique

While many of our divorce mediation clients take advantage of one of our flat-fee mediation packages saving thousands or even tens of thousand when compared to other options, we do recognize that a flat fee package may not be the best option for every case.

Learn more about your options, what makes the most sense for you, and how we may best support you along the way.

Schedule a comprehensive 1-hour Initial Consultation for $90 (a $360 value) to share your current situation and discuss your best options for moving forward.

Schedule a consultation

Couples have the option to attend the 1-hour consultation together or they may choose to split the time into one 30-minute private consultation per individual.

Should you decide to become our client within 30 days of your initial consultation, the $90 consultation fee will be credited to your flat fee.
