How Much Does Divorce Mediation Cost?

A: The cost of divorce mediation in Washington State depends on a number of factors, including:

•    Whether or not you have children and need to discuss child custody and visitation.
•    How long you have been married.
•    How complex your finances are.
•    How well your communication skills are.
•    How willing you are to compromise and work together.
•    How many sessions you will require to work out the details of your divorce.

However, as long as both parties are willing to work with a mediator, the cost of divorce mediation is almost always lower than the cost of going to court for your divorce. In addition to a lower cost, mediation also often gives families more privacy during the divorce process and allows couples to take legal decisions out of the hands of a judge.
