Yes, most divorce mediation services offer flexible pay-as-you-go payment options
Divorce mediation typically follows a flexible payment structure where clients pay for services as they progress through the process. Here’s how the payment system generally works:
- Session-by-session payments allow you to pay for each mediation meeting as it occurs
- Document preparation fees are charged separately when specific court papers need to be prepared
- Initial retainer fee may be required to cover administrative costs between sessions
- Flexible timing means you can pause the process between steps to accommodate your financial situation
- Settlement agreement costs are typically paid when you’re ready to finalize the document
This payment flexibility helps make mediation more accessible and allows couples to manage their divorce expenses according to their financial circumstances. You maintain control over the timing and can proceed at a pace that works for your budget.
