When it comes to divorce, the cost can be a significant concern. At The Resolution Center, LLC, we understand this, and that's why we offer budget pricing. Our philosophy is to make our comprehensive services accessible to all, regardless of their financial situation. We're here to help you navigate all aspects of divorce, from dealing with your spouse and children to managing relationships. Reach out to us to learn more about our pricing.
In 2007, the average price for a litigated divorce was estimated to be $30,000 per party. The legal community has not released comparable study figures since that time, but case analyses show the fees can generally range from a low of $8,000 to as high as $133,000 or more.
Attorneys typically charge by the hour and the fees are open-ended. And when emotions run high, every interaction leads to more hours billed on both sides. Soon, clients focus more on the rising cost of the process than resolving the legal dispute. This is true in every type of dispute, not just divorce.
Because we always want clients focused on resolving their disputes and not watching the clock or their bank account, we view pricing differently at The Resolution Center. Call us at (574) 622-8913 to learn more about our pricing philosophy and find the plan that works for your needs.
The goal of the fee arrangement is to make services universally available and allow parties to focus on settling the issues rather than worrying about running up a bill.
At the Resolution Center, we also believe that success means resolving the dispute and ensuring the renegotiated relationship endures without carrying a legacy of excessive fees. Every fee agreement at The Resolution Center includes appropriate follow-up services at no additional charge. When loss of trust has led to chronic or acute disputes, it takes time and work to repair the relationship.
We know no one ever budgets for dispute resolution or a divorce. We work with clients to create the package of services they desire based on the types and complexity of issues in dispute and the input of the conciliators. A formal budget estimate and a timeline covering all services are given to clients and included in every service agreement at the beginning of every case.
Average fees for a TRC divorce range from $2,000 - $18,000, depending on the complexity of issues and the range of services needed. Payments can be “pay as you go” at the time of service, or we can spread the cost over 3-5 months without interest, with a reconciliation for actual charges in the last month. Clients who choose to use a Solution-Focused Divorce™ package of services benefit from a discounted rate and a cap on fees.
We want to support all of our clients every step of the way. When clients have a limited ability to pay for our services, consideration will be given to pro bono services or reduced fees.
At The Resolution Center, we're not just another arbitration and mediation business. Here's what sets us apart:
