Utah Divorce Clinic
Our goal is to make your divorce experience as simple,
cost-effective, and painless as possible.
The cost of a traditional divorce in Utah is about $12,500 per party.
Through our process, the overall cost of a divorce is typically about $2,000-$3,000 total.
The following is an example of the potential cost for a typical divorce through our process:

Potential for Additional Costs
In some cases it may be beneficial to have additional one-on-one sessions with the mediator, or to have additional joint sessions. If the case requires more sessions, then the overall cost will be higher. Mediation sessions are billed at your mediator's hourly rate.
If you involve other professionals in your divorce, such as attorneys, therapists, or financial professionals, those professionals must be paid separately.
Potential for Lower Costs
If you do not have children, or if you have relatively few assets to divide, or if you do not require any one-on-one sessions with the mediator, your overall cost could be significantly reduced.
Assessing the Total Cost
During your initial consultation, the mediator or team member can help you assess your situation and the possible overall cost. Throughout the process, you're mediator will help you understand what options you have, and help you determine how fast or slow you would like the process to go.
Payment Schedule
One-on-one sessions and joint mediation sessions are charged at your mediator's hourly one-on-one rate, with a one hour minimum. Joint mediation sessions are billed at your mediators standard rate, with a two-hour minimum.
See the Mediators page for more details on hourly billing.
The process of preparing your final divorce documents and filing them with the Courts is charged as a flat fee. For cases involving children, the cost is $750. For cases not involving children, the cost is $500. Both types of cases also require a $350 Court filing fee.
Each mediator has their own hourly rate. Please see the Mediators & Team page for more information on rates.
