Mediation is a low-risk, cost-effective first step before pursuing legal action

Starting with divorce mediation is a financially prudent choice since it operates on a pay-as-you-go basis with minimal upfront commitment. The initial investment is typically just a few hundred dollars to explore the possibility of reaching an agreement. If mediation proves unsuccessful, you can still proceed with traditional legal channels and Family Court.

  • No large retainer fees required
  • Pay only for the sessions you attend
  • Potential savings of thousands of dollars compared to litigation
  • Freedom to discontinue if progress isn’t being made
  • Option to pursue legal action remains available

Most couples who begin mediation successfully reach a settlement, making it a worthwhile investment that can help avoid costly court proceedings while maintaining control over the outcome.
