Flat Fee Mediation Programs
Our Flat Fee, Hourly and Online Mediation Services allow our clients to keep their marital conflicts out of court, meet the needs of their children, and reduce the emotional and financial costs that often accompany an adversarial litigated divorce.
Our innovative Flat Fee Mediation Programs are designed by Attorney Terri Breer, a leader in the family mediation community, who has been mediating divorce settlements for over three decades. We provide the assistance our clients need to create their own divorce settlements while enabling them to manage conflict, reduce costs and provide a safe environment for decision making.
Our flat fee services include all the paperwork necessary to commence your divorce process with the Superior Court, complete your required disclosure process and to secure entry of judgment incorporating your settlement agreement. No court appearances are required, and our clients can complete the mediation process by meeting in person or virtually for their Mediation Sessions.
When the mediation fee is paid at the beginning of the mediation process the parties are not distracted by concern about hourly fees and costs during each mediation session. Instead of focusing on the clock and calculating how much you are spending for the mediation session, you can put all your energy and attention towards the decision-making process.
All Mediation Programs incorporate our Flat Fee Mediation Program, and include the following:
- 3-5 Mediation Sessions with a professional mediator.
- Preparation and filing of all legal forms and documents necessary to commence and complete the divorce process with your local jurisdiction.
- Written Settlement that is prepared as Stipulated Judgment for entry of judgment in accordance with your agreed settlement terms and conditions.
- Referrals to other divorce professionals as needed to assist couples in making informed, smart decisions about the division of their marital property, support issues and parenting plans.
