Scheduling Your Mediation Initial Meeting

Take your first step toward a fair and peaceful resolution.

What Makes This Initial Meeting Different:

We make this a paid session because we’re committed to providing real value from the very first conversation. This isn’t a sales pitch or a brief “get to know you” chat. It’s a focused 45-minute working session where we’ll accomplish something meaningful together.

In our time together, we’ll:

  • dig into your specific situation
  • identify what matters most to you both
  • discuss realistic paths forward
  • and determine whether mediation is the right approach for your family.

We’ve found that couples who invest in this initial meeting come better prepared, ask better questions, and are significantly more likely to reach successful outcomes.

The investment ensures we use every minute purposefully.

Think of it as choosing quality over convenience. While other mediators offer free consultations, those brief meetings often leave couples with more questions than answers.

This meeting gives us real time to understand your needs and create a foundation for everything that follows.

We know how overwhelming it feels to be at this crossroads. You’re facing one of life’s most difficult transitions, and you’re trying to figure out the best path forward for yourself and your family.

That’s exactly what this initial meeting is designed to help you explore.

How the Meeting Works

The meeting is 45 minutes and takes place via Zoom, so you can join from wherever you’re comfortable. Both spouses need to attend, but you don’t need to be in the same location unless you prefer to be.

We work with couples whose divorce will take place in California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington State. You can often schedule your meeting for the same week or within a week’s notice.

The meeting fee is $195.

What This Meeting Is For (And What It’s Not)

This initial meeting is perfect if you’re exploring whether mediation could help you navigate your divorce or separation more peacefully and constructively. It’s a chance to ask questions, understand the process, and see if we’re a good fit to work together.

This meeting isn’t the right fit if you’re simply looking for someone to file paperwork without guidance through the decisions, or if you need legal advice about your specific rights and obligations.
