Family Law Mediation Rates 
and Cancellation Policy


How much does mediation cost in Family Law Cases?

Mediation is extremely cost-effective - particularly when compared with 1) the financial cost of preparing a case for a bench or jury trial,  2) the cost of the trial itself (including missed work-days);  and 3)  the emotional cost of the trial itself for the parties and the families involved. 

For family law cases, half-day and full-day rates per party are detailed on the income-based sliding scale below.  Each party is responsible for their portion of the mediation fee based on that party's respective gross monthly income as follows:
