Frequently Asked Questions About Mediation

Here are some common questions. If you have a question, please email us.

Mediation can address a wide range of issues, including but not limited to communication problems, financial disagreements, parenting challenges, division of household responsibilities, and decisions about separation or divorce.

If you feel safe and all parties can communicate in good faith, mediation is generally a good fit for your dispute.

  • You feel safe communicating with the other parties and are not in danger
  • All parties are willing to negotiate in good faith
  • All parties can be truthful and transparent, especially in the area of financials
  • You wish to avoid litigation and costly attorney fees
  • You need disputes resolved faster than litigation

Mediation can take two to four sessions, depending on the complexity of the issues and the parties’ willingness to negotiate and make needed concessions. Mediation is a flexible process, and the parties make the decision regarding how many sessions are needed to address the important issues in dispute adequately.

Mediation begins with a one-time consultation to estimate your needs and costs.

Mediation costs are often much lower than attorneys and litigation.

For Keiter Mediation, here are our flat costs (subject to change). Our mediation costs for other services are also reasonable and require a low-cost consultation to begin.

It’s up to you and the other party to decide who pays for mediation. In a divorce, most choose to split the cost of divorce mediation, but it’s up to the parties. Costs and payment arrangements are discussed at the mediation consultation.

The duration of mediation varies depending on the complexity of the issues and the willingness of all parties to participate in the process. It can range from a few sessions to several weeks or months.

Preparation involves reflecting on the issues you wish to discuss, considering your own needs and interests, being open to hearing others’ perspectives and gathering any relevant documents or information that may be discussed during mediation.

Mediators don’t give legal advice but can provide legal information. Parties are encouraged to consult with an attorney if there is a question regarding legal rights and responsibilities. However, there is no law in Oklahoma requiring you to get an attorney at any point during your divorce – and divorcing without attorneys significantly reduces the cost of divorce.

Once agreements have been reached, we can assist you in completing the process by preparing court documents and providing assistance for self filing. Once approved by the court, the agreements made in mediation will become a legal binding court order and your divorce will be complete.

The average cost of contested divorce with children in Oklahoma is $18,700, often starting off with $5,000 retainers for each party. With Keiter Mediation, the flat fee for divorce mediation services is $3,500.

This includes two 2-hour mediation sessions and drafting the Memorandum of Understanding for the parties to review and sign. The Memorandum of Understanding describes the agreements reached in mediation. The fee also includes the preparation of all court documents, along with an appointment to review the steps for self-filing. Additional sessions, if needed, are available at $250 per hour, with each session lasting 2 hours.

Custody mediation is a process designed for parents to collaboratively determine the arrangements for their children’s living situations, visitation schedules, and financial support. Unlike traditional court proceedings, custody mediation puts the decision-making power directly in the hands of the parents, with the guidance of a neutral mediator. This approach encourages parents to work out terms that are in the best interest of their children, promoting a cooperative parenting relationship.

Traditional legal routes can be costly, with attorneys often charging $5000.00 retainers for each party to begin custody proceedings. Our custody mediation services are offered at a flat rate of $2,500. This includes two, 2-hour mediation sessions as well as drafting the Memorandum of Understanding for the parties to review and sign. The Memorandum of Understanding describes the agreements reached in mediation. The fee also includes the preparation of all court documents along with an appointment to go over the steps for self-filing. Additional sessions, if needed, are available at $250 per hour, with each session lasting 2 hours.

No, couples mediation is available to all types of partnerships, whether married, cohabiting, or separated, regardless of sexual orientation or relationship status.

While mediation focuses on the future instead of the past, we understand that emotions are often raw during divorce. We have various strategies to help those who may be uncomfortable communicating with one another. And we can meet together or separately as needed. This process is done via online video conferencing using Zoom.
