Our goal is to make sure you can afford the legal fees of your separation or divorce. We offer monthly installment plans and accept all major credit cards.
Yes. In addition to accepting all major credit cards or personal checks, we are pleased to offer a more flexible customer financing option through PayPal Credit. PayPal Credit offers 6 months of no-interest financing on payments over $99. That means you can get started now, and have the ability to take 6 months to pay, and, if paid in full, without interest.
Paypal Credit also offers a simple approval process. 1) Sign in to your PayPal account and get pre-approved, 2)
This payment option is ideal for spouses who need access to cash, do not want to use their current credit card, and need to stretch out payments.
The payment plan begins with the first payment and spans over the 60 days following. The rationale behind this is that the bulk of the program and the core value of the services typically take place within the first 3-4 months of the process. The end of our process involves the administrative filing for the divorce (which we assist you with), along with a mandatory 90-day waiting period before you’re eligible to obtain your divorce decree in the final filling stage.
It depends. For My Healthy Divorce® Mediation program or legal agreements, clients can pay either ½ or 1/3 of the flat fee up front, and are billed monthly for a period of 2 or 3 consecutive months thereafter. Clients who schedule individual

We take pride in offering only those services needed to ensure your family is fully secured post-divorce.

Therefore, exact fee quotes can only be provided at the time of consultation.
Unlike others, Main Line Family Law Center is a full-service, end-to-end divorce mediation and legal services firm. This means we can offer mediation for all children and financial needs, fully-legally binding agreements, and filing. You won't need to pay additional fees to an attorney to draft your agreement and file. Here, you have the expertise and legal protection of an experienced divorce attorney-mediator who oversees your entire case. Also, other mediators charge an hourly rate while we charge a flat fee, which clients often prefer so they have some level of certainty about costs. You also have access to a wealth of support information, tutorials as well as a court document specialist who understands the specifics of the filing process in PA. Last, we recognize every case is different, and so we offer you the lowest cost for what you need. Or, if you need a service that is not listed here, contact us.
A flat fee provides certainty during a time of uncertainty, whereas an hourly rate can cause clients to hesitate to seek help for fear of mounting costs. Your fee is capped so you know what it is upfront with no hidden fees or hourly rates, and you can finance the fee throughout the program. That's why we spend a great deal of time up front on intake to provide a confident quote and takes into account the total time and services required to address your specific needs such as child custody, child support, alimony, division of assets, etc., with total support from our firm until you obtain a final divorce decree. for more simple situations and couples who strongly prefer to take one small step at a time, pay-as-you-go options are also available.

You can always opt not to have a parenting mediation session and written parenting agreement. However, it is often very difficult to differentiate between your own needs and that of your children. This is why, in our process, your child's voice is represented by the parenting mediator. The objectivity and expertise of a child development expert can be crucial for foundation-setting. Also, the written document you receive in our mediation program goes beyond just your child(ren)’s physical custody between two households. Circumstances change, children's needs change, and new relationships can enter the picture. Therefore, we always recommend having the parenting plan, especially when young children are involved.
Even though you have a good working relationship, every case still has its own complexities. Our programs aren't designed just to tie up a few loose ends; they lay a foundation to help both spouses learn new ways to make decisions and provide professionals to help you make the most informed decisions. We are committed to developing a customized price quote that accurately reflects the services and time your case needs.
Yes. Our Marital Settlement Agreement Only option is available for couples who are able to develop their divorce terms privately and report them to our attorney who will then write your agreement and meet with you to finalize it. Our attorney will also walk you through the administrative filing process. WIth this option, our attorney serves as an attorney and scribe, not a mediator. However, a mediation session(s) can be added on to help address 1-2 smaller, outstanding issues (usually related to finances only).
We accept all major credit cards. Personal checks are also accepted.
