Fees
The hourly rate for my services is $250 per hour ($125 per party). There is a two-hour minimum fee for mediation. The two-hour fee will not be charged unless the mediation session actually commences. I take payment by card on the day of mediation.
If the mediation commences and lasts longer than two hours, the additional amount is due at the end of the session. Each party owes a 50% contribution to the total mediation cost, unless there has been an agreement to divide the fee differently.
Payments may be made by credit or debit card. I can take credit card numbers directly, or invoice by PayPal.
People can and do divide the cost of divorce in many different ways. My interest in how my fees are paid is to ensure that neither party feels disadvantaged if fees are split unevenly. In a mediation or arbitration, I work without bias toward either party, no matter how I am paid.
