About Us

The People Behind Your Fresh Start

For over two decades, Common Ground has helped thousands of Utah families navigate divorce with clarity, dignity, and less conflict.

Our Story

Common Ground, 1999–2026

Common Ground is under new management. The history, results and client reviews on this site describe Common Ground's work before the change.

Common Ground's roots go back to 1999, and Common Ground Mediation opened in 2004 with a simple belief: divorce doesn't have to destroy families.

Since then, we've guided over 8,000 couples through one of life's most difficult transitions — with a historical 96% success rate. We pioneered flat-fee divorce mediation in Utah and have saved Utah couples an estimated $250 million in attorneys' fees.

Today, Common Ground runs on divvi, a Utah divorce software platform. The history and results on this page are Common Ground's.

What Makes Common Ground Different

We didn't just enter the mediation field — we redefined it. Here's what sets us apart.

Flat-Fee Pricing

No hourly billing surprises. We were the first in Utah to offer flat-fee divorce mediation — you know exactly what you'll pay before we start.

Weeks, Not Years

While attorneys drag cases out for months (or years), most couples reach agreement in two to four weeks of sessions. The decree follows at least 30 days after filing.

No Attorneys Needed

You don't need to hire expensive attorneys. Our mediators guide both parties to fair agreements — saving you thousands while protecting your interests.

Dignity-Focused

Divorce is hard enough. We create a respectful environment where both parties are heard, children's needs are prioritized, and families can move forward with grace.
