Financial Mediation

Mediation may help you solve disagreements about money issues, like spousal or partner and child support and property. In some counties the family law facilitator can provide some child support mediation services. Click here to find the family law facilitator in your county.

You can hire a private mediator to help you agree about money AND parenting issues. But it is not required.

Private mediators are usually lawyers or mental health professionals. They usually charge between $50 and $250 an hour.

Usually both parents share this cost.

To learn more about how mediation could help you, read Alternative Dispute Resolution: Options for Resolving Your Dispute (in PDF format) or contact the family law facilitator in your county.
