SERVICES
I charge based on the service I am providing, as some of my services are more difficult than others.
For example, to mediate child custody with both parents I charge $225 per hour, but to meet with their children I charge $175 per hour.
***I charge a fee of $100/hour for consultation phone calls. A fee for phone consultation will be discussed and confirmed before or after the consultation. Accepted modes of payment are: cash, check, or paypal online payment with credit card. Most consultations under 5minutes will not be charged.
I really want to meet with the kids and talk about how they are doing, while some mediators, especially attorney-mediators, do not do this. So I am willing to charge less. Given I am an expert in child development, I can often provide a new perspective to parents about thier kids and also refer them to a support group or counseling if it would be beneficial. In all honesty, I think it is beneficial for kids to have some outside help during a divorce. They often need another person who is not a part of the family unit and not involved in the process to share their thoughts and feelings. I don't provide children therapy; I simply answer questions about the process and provide support and guidance. If, after speaking to the children, I think therapy is needed, I will share this with the parents. PACKAGES Child Custody Mediation $1200 Divorce Coaching $600 (monthly)
