Step 1

Consultation (Phone or Zoom)

To get started, you can schedule a free, 15-minute phone or Zoom consultation with one of our mediators. They can explain the process, answer any questions you have, and make sure that mediation is a good fit for your case.

You and your spouse / former partner can do the consultation together, or you can each do a separate consultation.

You can also download our Divorce Guidebook, which provides an overview of the common issues that arise in divorce. The guidebook will help you begin thinking through the terms of your divorce prior to coming to mediation.

Step 2

Mediation Session / Sessions

After the consultation, you'll schedule mediation. In many cases, the entire divorce can be resolved in a single session of mediation. In other cases, it may be helpful to have multiple sessions.

During mediation, the mediator will help both sides examine the issues and explore solutions. The mediator will help guide the conversation while allowing you, the parties, to ultimately remain in control.

The ultimate goal of mediation is to find solutions that both parties feel comfortable with.

Step 3

Final Documents and Filing

When mediation is completed, you'll be ready to file your agreement with the Courts. Our in-house team will handle all of the drafting, filing, and Court payments required to finalize your divorce.

FAQs

Can I bring an attorney to mediation?

The Utah Divorce Clinic is designed to help parties who don't have full-representation. However, if all sides agree then we're happy to work with attorneys as part of the mediation process. During the intake process, please let your mediator know if you plan to be represented by an attorney.

Can I involve other professionals?

Yes. We understand that every case is unique. Some cases my require only the assistance of only a mediator, while others may require the help of a family law attorney, private guardian ad litem (children's attorney), a financial professional, or other professionals. During the intake process, you and your mediator can explore which other types of professionals may be helpful to include.

Can I have an attorney review my divorce agreement before signing?

Yes. We encourage all parties to have an independent attorney review their drafted agreement before signing.

What if we need more than one session of mediation?

In some cases, it may be helpful to have multiple sessions of mediation. Your mediator can help you schedule additional sessions if needed.

What if we don't reach an agreement?

Though mediation has a very high success rate, it's possible that you and your spouse / former partner will not be able to reach a full agreement during mediation. In that case, you still have the option of hiring attorneys, going to Court, or seeking other means of resolving your divorce. There is no obligation to reach an agreement during mediation.

What is the total cost of a mediated divorce?

The total cost of a mediated divorce, through our process, is typically $2,000–$2,500. This includes all preparation, the mediation session, preparing final documents, and filings fees. This does not include the cost of having an attorney review your agreement before signing. For a full breakdown, please visit our Pricing page.
