Divorce doesn’t start with court papers — it starts with questions. Most couples come to PivotPoint Resolutions™ unsure of where to begin or what it will cost to get divorced. That’s exactly why the divorce mediation consultation exists — to give you clarity before you make irreversible decisions.
This isn’t a consultation filled with legal jargon or pressure. It’s a guided conversation, with a Certified Professional Mediator, designed to answer your questions, outline your options, and help you understand what mediation could look like for your situation.
What a Divorce Mediation Consultation Really Is
A divorce mediation consultation is a confidential, no-obligation meeting — usually 30-45 minutes — where we talk through the key areas of your divorce: parenting, finances, property, and next steps.
Here’s what actually happens:
You’ll describe what’s working and what’s not in your current situation.
I’ll walk you through how mediation can help you reach agreements without attorneys or court hearings.
You’ll get transparent information about flat-fee pricing, session structure, and timelines.
Most importantly, you’ll leave with clarity — not confusion.
Many couples tell me it’s the first time they’ve talked about divorce calmly and productively.

What It’s Not
It’s not a sales pitch.
It’s not a fight.
And it’s not therapy.
It’s your chance to ask real questions about what divorce mediation costs, what’s required by your state, and how you can keep control of your own decisions — instead of handing them over to a court.
You’ll walk away knowing if mediation is right for you — and if it’s not, I’ll point you in the right direction.
Why Couples Choose a Divorce Mediation Consultation First
Couples who start with mediation avoid the endless back-and-forth of attorney negotiations.
They save thousands in fees, reduce emotional stress, and protect their kids from conflict.
A divorce mediation consultation gives you answers to:
“What will happen to our home or retirement?”
“How will parenting time work?”
“Can we really do this without lawyers?”
You’ll leave with a roadmap — and a sense of peace you probably haven’t felt in months.
If You’re Ready for Clarity, Don’t Wait
Scheduling a consultation doesn’t mean you’re committing to divorce, or to PivotPoint Resolutions™ — it means you’re getting the information you need to make a smart, calm decision.
