Every mediation is different in terms of how much time will be involved, the complexity of issues (and how much time our mediator needs to be prepared), etc. But to provide an example, a typical mediation in a divorce involving division of assets and liabilities, child support, spousal maintenance and the residential schedule for the children, may well involve a full 8-hour day, including at least one hour for the mediator to review pre-mediation information or memorandum supplied. Geoff Gibbs routinely charges $250 per hour and will require that a deposit for 4 hours be provided at the time the mediation is scheduled. However, in certain cases, he will reduce this cost for ‘pro bono’ parties on a case-by-case basis. Other Anderson Hunter mediators may charge at a different rate and should be contacted directly in this regard.
