What to Expect
What happens after I reach out?
Within 24 hours, a member of our team will contact you for a free, no-obligation phone consultation. We'll listen to your situation, answer your questions, and explain how mediation can help — no pressure, no sales pitch.
Is this confidential?
Absolutely. Everything you share with Common Ground is completely confidential. Mediation sessions are private by law, and we don’t share what you tell us with your spouse without your consent, except where the law or someone’s safety requires it, and we never sell your information. See our privacy policy.
How much does it cost?
At Common Ground, every case starts with a $500 evaluation, credited toward mediation within 30 days. It includes an hour of mediation and a review where we set up a game plan, understand both sides’ positions, and see how complex your situation is. Mediation is then quoted to your situation, typically $500 to $5,000, depending on complexity. That is a fraction of traditional litigation costs. Nationally, people who hired a full-scope divorce lawyer paid an average of $11,300 in attorneys' fees (median $7,000), and divorce lawyers reported an average of $270 an hour (Nolo 2019 survey). You get your quote before mediation begins, so you know what to expect. The initial consultation is always free.
Not sure where to start?
Divorce can be confusing, and not knowing where to start is what we hear most. We can point you in the right direction.
