Initial Consultation
A one-hour consultation in Matthew's office or via Zoom is typically the first step in the mediation process. You do not need to prepare anything before attending the consultation except to sign the Consultation Agreement and return it to Matthew via email (matthewmhousejd@gmail.com).
Who attends the consultation? Usually, but not always, both parties attend the consultation.
What is the fee? $150, which is a 35% discount.
What is on the agenda? You will get an overview of the process and ask questions. Matthew will ask you about your circumstances and your goals. The purpose for us to meet one another and ensure that Matthew is a good fit for you and that your goals can be achieved through mediation.
What needs to wait until you have a full two-hour divorce mediation session? In a full divorce mediation session, you'll discuss the specific details of your case, start to make decisions, and get Matthew's analysis.
Is it possible to begin mediation without an initial consultation? Yes. If you and your spouse believe that you understand enough about the divorce mediation process and about Matthew to be able to begin without having had an introductory consultation, you are welcome to save money by not beginning with a consultation.
