All-Inclusive Divorce Mediation
A Modern, Empowering Path to Separation
Divorce doesn't have to be defined by conflict, courtroom battles, or spiraling legal fees. Mediation offers a healthier, more collaborative approach, keeping you in control while prioritizing your family's needs. Whether you're facing complex financial decisions or working through co-parenting arrangements, mediation gives you the tools to reach fair, lasting agreements without unnecessary stress.
At Glassmann Family Coaching, we specialize in guiding you through every step of this process, ensuring your voice is heard and your goals are met. Our all-inclusive flat fee packages simplify the journey, offering virtual or in-person mediation, complete paperwork services, and—if you're in Minnesota—full court filing assistance.
Why Mediation?
Save Time and Money
Our process is up to four times faster than the court system and costs up to 90% less than traditional litigation. Forget hourly billing and unpredictable expenses—our flat fee covers everything from start to finish.
Stay in Control
In mediation, you—not a judge—decide the terms of your divorce. This means you retain full control over key decisions like property division, spousal maintenance/support, parenting plans, and child support/sharing kids' expenses. We work with you to craft agreements that reflect your unique circumstances.
Lower Stress, Protect Your Family
Courtroom litigation often intensifies conflict, but mediation fosters respectful communication. This is especially critical when children are involved. Mediation supports your children's well-being by modeling cooperative problem-solving and setting the stage for healthy co-parenting relationships.
What we help you resolve
We guide you through every aspect of divorce, including:
Property Division: Equitably divide assets and debts, whether you managing a complex portfolio of businesses or simplifying the sale of a marital home.
Spousal Maintenance/Support: Determine fair, sustainable financial arrangements.
Child Support/Sharing Kids' Costs: Build a budget that serves your children's best interests while respecting each parent's needs.
Parenting Time: Develop a parenting plan—including a schedule—that supports stability and flexibility.
Decision-Making: Clarify how to share important decisions about your children's education, healthcare, and more.

Common Mediation Scenarios
Budgeting as Co-Parents
Shared financial responsibilities can be a source of tension. Mediation provides the structure to agree on children's costs, from school fees to extracurricular activities, ensuring both parents feel comfortable with the outcome.
Agreeing On the Family Home
Deciding whether to sell, refinance, or co-own a home post-divorce is a big decision. We'll guide you through the options and help you find the solution that works best for your family.
Parenting Time
Balancing schedules, holidays, and special events can feel overwhelming. We help parents build clear, flexible plans that reduce conflict and put the children first.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does mediation cost?
Our flat fees range from $2,500 to $6,000 per spouse, depending on the complexity of your case. This is significantly less than litigation, which can easily exceed $20,000 per spouse.
Who pays for mediation?
Fees can be shared equally, shared proportionately based on income, covered covered by one party, or any other agreed upon arrangement. We also offer payment plans to make mediation accessible to everyone.
How long does the process take?
Most cases are resolved within 2-4 months. In contrast, court cases drag on over a year on average.
What if we can't agree?
While rare (we operate under a 95+% settlement rate), if mediation doesn't result in full agreement, you'll leave with a clearer understanding of your positions and next steps. Even in those less-than-5% of cases which have stalled out, clients thank us for saving them time and money in the upcoming litigation.
