• Coaching Rates are $150/hour + HST • Mediation Rates are $235/hour + HST  • The cost for a Separation Agreement typically ranges from $495 -$795 + HST, depending on how many sections are required.

• The length of your Coaching process depends on your particular needs and situation. ​ The average mediation consists of: • Each party attending an intake session • Followed by 2 two-hour joint sessions. • The first joint session is focused on the financial issues and the second deals more with the children. • Following that, I write up your Agreement Document and then • We meet one final time to review the Agreement together. • HOWEVER, if your case is complex or it takes you some time to gather certain necessary information, the process can be longer. Co-operation and preparation affect how quickly and cost-effectively the process unfolds. Occasionally, my clients work through the process quicker than normal and, yes, they save money.
