Divorce Mediation

More and more people choose mediation when getting a divorce because it is less time-consuming and emotionally-draining than using the courts. Our Minnesota divorce attorneys have experience with mediation and can help ensure you are fairly represented in the mediation process.

Costs of Mediation

Divorce mediation is typically less expensive than going through the formal divorce process. Some Minnesota counties provide mediators for divorcing couples with children. In cases involving property, private mediators may be needed.  In this case, both spouses split the cost for this service. Competent mediators cost at least $200 per hour, depending on the amount of work needed, the amount of property at issue, and other factors.
