Flat Fee Divorce Service

• Preparation and drafting of all required divorce documents
• Filing of documents with the court
• Up to 1 hour for revisions or finalizing remaining terms (by email, phone calls, video meeting, in-person meeting, etc.)
• Finalizing and submitting the divorce settlement agreement for court approval

The $301 court filing fee is included in the flat fee, but is charged separately because it must be paid to the court.

• Review your situation and determine eligibility for the flat fee service
• Discuss the divorce process and next steps
• Advise if additional mediation sessions will likely be needed

During your initial consultation, we’ll assess whether additional mediation will be needed. If major issues come up — like disputes over parenting time, custody, property, or finances — mediation can help. These sessions are billed at $450/hour and must be paid in advance if added later in the process.

Note: The mediator is not acting as an attorney and does not represent either party.

Yes. Mediation sessions may be canceled up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. If you need to reschedule, please contact our office to find a new time. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice may not be eligible for a refund.

No. The flat fee includes everything listed. Additional mediation sessions, if required, will be billed at $450/hour.

QDROs are not included in the flat fee. If needed, QDRO-related fees are billed separately by a QDRO specialist attorney.

To get started, call us to speak with our Client Concierge. They’ll help you with the intake process and scheduling your initial consultation.

Our flat fee service is designed for couples who are willing to work together in good faith to reach agreements. If major disputes arise that can’t be resolved through mediation, we’ll discuss alternative options. We’ll always be transparent about next steps and potential costs.

• Any legal or financial documents related to your marriage that you think are important
• Information about assets, debts, income, or parenting arrangements (if applicable)

Drafting begins once payment is made and both parties have provided their agreed terms using the:

• Parenting Terms Form (if you have children)
• Financial Terms Form
• Demographic Form

These forms will be provided during your initial consultation or first mediation session.

Most cooperative divorces can be finalized within 6 to 12 weeks, depending on court timelines and how quickly both parties complete required steps. If additional mediation or review is needed, that may extend the timeline.

You don’t have to fill these out alone. During your consultation or first mediation session, the Mediator will review the forms with you to make sure everything is clear and complete.

While the person you’re working with may be a licensed attorney, in this process they are acting only as a neutral mediator. They do not represent either party and cannot give individual legal advice. Their role is to help both of you move through the process fairly and efficiently. If you need legal representation, you’re free to consult with your own attorney at any time. We can provide referrals for attorneys if you need them.

• Decision making about major issues
• Parenting Schedule
• Bedtimes, discipline, dietary needs, and daily routines
• Medical needs, education, and extracurricular activities
• Travel, driving, relationships with new partners or extended family
• Safety concerns or anything else important to your parenting

If you’re not the primary caregiver, that’s okay — just fill it out to the best of your ability. You’ll have the opportunity to discuss it during mediation.

This form outlines the financial terms of your agreement and helps us draft your court documents. It includes:

• Real property (homes, timeshares, land)
• Bank accounts and online payment accounts
• Retirement accounts and investments
• Stocks, stock options, and financial instruments
• Accounts for children
• Cryptocurrency holdings
• Business interests or ownership
• Inheritances (received or expected)
• Travel rewards, points, and mileage accounts
• Cars & Vehicles
• Personal property & belongings

Please be as thorough as possible. The accuracy of your final documents depends on the information provided by you.

The Demographic Form collects the basic personal information required for drafting and filing — legal names, addresses, dates of birth, contact info, etc. Even if you’ve already shared this elsewhere, we need it completed to ensure accuracy and consistency.

A cooperative divorce is a process where both spouses agree to work together — with the help of a neutral Mediator — to reach fair, respectful agreements outside of court. You don’t have to agree on everything up front, but you must both be committed to resolving things together.

This process is a good fit if you and your partner:

• Want to avoid court
• Are willing to work together respectfully
• Value structure, privacy, and cost transparency
• Can communicate or compromise with help, even if you don’t fully agree

If you’re unsure, the initial consultation will help determine if this process is a good fit for you.

A QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order) is required to divide certain retirement accounts, like 401(k)s or pensions, without tax penalties.

QDROs are not included in the flat fee, and these fees are separate. QDRO’s must be prepared by an attorney who specializes in QDROs.
Typical cost: $700–$1,000 per account. We will refer you to a trusted QDRO attorney if one is needed.

You’ll see two charges at the beginning:

1. One for our flat fee divorce service
2. One for the $301 court filing fee, which is paid to the court

While the filing fee is included in the flat fee total, it must be processed separately.

Even when both parents agree, a parenting plan must still be carefully drafted to meet court requirements and help prevent future conflicts. It covers legal, logistical, and parenting responsibilities in detail. The $1,800 fee covers the time and expertise required to prepare this critical document properly.
