How Much Does Utah Divorce Mediation Cost?

The cost of Utah divorce mediation depends on how complex your divorce is.  Some divorce mediations can be completed for less than one thousand dollars. On other rare occasions, Utah divorce mediation can cost as much as ten thousand dollars.  As a rule of thumb, you can plan on the cost being about 10% of what it would cost if you used attorneys and went to court.

At Common Ground Divorce Mediation, we make every effort possible to ensure your divorce mediation costs are as affordable as possible by offering a variety of different Utah mediation services. View the list below to choose the service that is right for you and your individual situation.

Average Cost of Divorce Mediation

Divorce mediation costs in Utah can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case and the mediator’s experience. Here's a general breakdown:

  • Hourly Rates: Most mediators charge between $150 and $300 per hour.
  • Flat Fees: Some offer flat-rate packages, which can range from $500 to $3,000, depending on the scope of services.
  • Court-Ordered Mediation (First Session): Utah courts may provide a discounted first mediation session, often capped at $300 for a 2-hour session with the court-approved mediator list.

Compared to the cost of litigation — which can easily exceed $10,000 per party — mediation remains a more affordable option for many couples.
