Mediation Pricing
One number, known in advance.
No hourly clock running in the background. No bill you can’t predict. Here’s exactly what divorce mediation costs with us — and exactly what’s included.
Initial Session
Designed to take most straightforward cases all the way to a signed agreement.
- Pre-session preparation and review of your materials
- Up to two hours of mediation with a Quist Homier Law mediator
- Your full Mediated Settlement Agreement, drafted & included
- One round of revisions at no extra cost
Each Additional Session
For divorces with more to work through. No penalty — plenty of people need two.
- Up to two more hours of focused mediation
- Any updates or amendments to your Settlement Agreement
- The same calm, structured process — at your pace
That’s it. No hourly rate. No retainer to replenish. No billing for every email.
What the $1,000 includes
Everything you need to reach a signed agreement.
The initial flat fee is built to carry most straightforward cases through to the finish line in a single session.
Preparation, done first
We review anything you send ahead of time, so you don’t spend your first hour getting us up to speed.
Two hours of mediation
A trained Quist Homier Law mediator guides the conversation — structured, calm, and focused on the decisions that matter most.
Your Settlement Agreement
The legal document that moves your divorce forward, drafted from what you decide together. Included — never an add-on.
A round of revisions
Want changes to the draft? We incorporate them. One full review cycle, at no additional cost.
Why flat fees
Because the meter shouldn’t run your divorce.
When lawyers bill by the hour, every phone call and email adds to a total no one can see coming. A flat fee flips that — you know the cost before we begin, so you can focus on the decisions instead of the invoice.
Hourly, contested divorce
- Two separate attorneys, two bills
- Cost climbs as the conflict continues
- Often $10,000–$30,000 per person
- Hard to predict where it ends
Mediation with us
- One neutral mediator, one flat fee
- $1,000 for most cases, start to finish
- $1,800 total even if it takes two sessions
- You know the number before you begin
For most couples, mediation costs a fraction of a contested divorce — and keeps the focus on your family’s future instead of legal fees.
An honest note
What mediation doesn’t replace.
Mediation is a powerful way to reach an agreement — but it isn’t the same as having your own lawyer. Before you sign anything, we recommend each of you have the agreement reviewed by an independent attorney who represents only you. It’s a small step that protects the work you’ve done together.
We’re neutral. We don’t represent either of you, and we don’t take sides. Our job is to help you both reach a fair, workable agreement — not to advise one of you against the other. An independent review fills the gap our neutrality is meant to keep.
A good mediator helps you build something that works. An attorney review makes sure it will actually hold.
Is this right for us?
If you’re asking, it probably is.
Mediation works when both people are willing to work toward an agreement — even if you’re not on great terms right now. You don’t have to be friends. You just have to be willing. It works especially well when:
