Designed for your path
Colorado Divorce Mediation Packages
Three to four months from now, you could have a signed divorce decree, a fair financial agreement, and if you have kids, a parenting plan you both actually believe in. No courtroom. No $30,000 attorney bill. No judge deciding things you could have decided yourselves.
That’s what mediation delivers. These packages are how we get there.
Packages are matched to your situation — not your preference. The right path depends on the complexity of your finances, whether you have children, and how much structure you need to stay on track.
The Express Path
For couples who are already aligned and want to finalize quickly.
You agree on the big picture. You just need a professional to make sure it’s handled correctly and completely — so nothing comes back to bite you later.
The Collaborative Path
For couples with shared property or assets and no minor children who want a fair outcome without a courtroom.
Hiring two attorneys to divide a house and retirement accounts can easily cost a combined $20,000–$40,000. This is the other option.
The Co-Parenting Path
For parents who understand their marriage is ending — but their family isn’t.
The agreement you reach here will shape where your children sleep, who makes decisions about their health and education, how you handle holidays, and what happens when one of you wants to relocate. It matters more than any single asset.
The Guided Resolution
For couples with conflict, hesitation, or strained communication, this high-support process manages resistance and de-escalates tension. With structured guidance, it creates a firm path forward—helping you avoid litigation finding resolution.
The Express Path
The fast lane for couples who are fully aligned and have a simple financial picture.
Ideal For
Marriages under five years, no shared real estate, combined assets under $250,000. You’re on the same page. You just need it done right.
You leave with
- A complete separation agreement, ready to file with the Colorado courts
- Completed financial documents for both parties
- Consultation with a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA)
- Step-by-step guidance through the Colorado divorce process
- Communication strategies to manage and reduce conflict
What this prevents
DIY divorce feels efficient until the agreement gets rejected for missing language on debt, retirement accounts, or filing requirements. At that point you’re not saving money – you’re paying to fix preventable mistakes. At $1,750, this isn’t an indulgence. It’s cost control.
Flat Fee: $1,750

The Collaborative Path
For couples with shared property or assets who want a fair outcome without a courtroom.
Ideal For
Couples with shared property, retirement accounts, or financial complexity who don’t have minor children. Both partners need to be willing to participate honestly and in good faith.
You leave with
- A complete, court-ready separation agreement covering all property and assets
- Completed financial documents for both parties, ready to file with the courts
- Equitable division of real estate, retirement accounts, and debts
- Support from a CDFA, Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert (CDRE), a Certified Divorce Lending Professional (CDLP), and a Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert (CDRE) coordinated into your process, not just referred out
- Mediated sessions with both parties, facilitated by Liz
What this prevents
-
Without proper guidance, couples often:
- Divide assets unfairly without realizing it
- Sign away retirement funds they were entitled to
- Miss the tax implications of who keeps the house
- Discover years later that a debt they thought was assigned away is still legally theirs
By the time most people catch these mistakes, the agreement is signed. The cost to fix it runs well into attorney fees. This process exists to make sure you understand what you’re agreeing to before you agree to it.
Flat Fee: $4,950
The Co-Parenting Path
This path is for parents who can hold two things at once: the marriage is over, and their kids need both of them to show up well.
Ideal For
Couples with minor children who are committed to building a functional and respectful co-parenting relationship. This incorporates all the financial complexities of The Collaborative Path with a deep focus on the family’s future.
This package is not for custody battles | Not for parents using parenting time as leverage | There are legal paths for that — this isn’t one of them
You leave with
- Everything included in The Collaborative Path
- A comprehensive parenting plan: custody schedules, holiday rotation, decision-making protocols, vacation logistics
- A child support framework grounded in Colorado law and your family’s actual circumstances
- A shared communication structure designed to reduce conflict over time, not just today
- CDFA, CDRE, and CDLP coordination for any housing and mortgage decisions
- Focus on practical, sustainable agreements that prioritize your children’s stability and best interests
What this prevents
A vague parenting plan is one of the most expensive things a family can walk away with. When the schedule doesn’t account for school breaks, decision-making authority isn’t clearly defined, or relocation isn’t addressed, families end up back in mediation or in court — every time.
This process builds a plan specific enough that most situations are already accounted for. That’s better for your kids. It’s also cheaper, longer-term, than leaving things open to interpretation.
Flat Fee: $6,500
The Guided Resolution
A high-support, structured process for complex situations where one partner is uncertain, resistant, or communication is strained.
Ideal For
Couples where:
- One spouse is ready to move forward while the other feels hesitant, overwhelmed, or unsure.
- There is tension or mistrust, but both partners are willing to engage in good faith with professional guidance.
- Collaboration is possible — but only with added structure, accountability, and skilled facilitation.
This package is not for cases involving ongoing abuse, intimidation, or a “win at all costs” mindset.
You leave with
The same outcomes as The Collaborative or Co-Parenting Path, plus:
- Individual pre-mediation sessions with each partner before any joint meetings
- Clear communication protocols managed by Liz to prevent escalation
- A structured pace that allows time to process while keeping things moving
- Direct coordination with your full professional team to reduce pressure points
- A framework specifically designed to keep the case from drifting into litigation
Why This Matters
Divorce doesn’t always begin on the same timeline for both people. Sometimes one partner has been preparing for months, while the other is just starting to process the reality of separation. The Guided Resolution provides the extra support, structure, and professional involvement needed to balance these differences, keep the process moving, and prevent derailment.
What this prevents
When a high-friction or uneven divorce goes unmanaged, the most common outcome isn’t resolution. It’s litigation by exhaustion. One person gives up, agrees to terms they’ll resent, and the agreement falls apart within a year. Or the process drags until both parties have spent more on attorneys than they ever expected.
The extra structure here isn’t overhead. It’s what keeps a difficult divorce from becoming a catastrophic one.
At $9,000, this is still a fraction of what a contested divorce typically costs — and it keeps decisions about your life out of a courtroom.
Flat Fee: $9,000
The Amicability Clause
A note on how packages are assigned
The Express, Collaborative, and Co-Parenting paths are priced to reflect cases where both partners participate honestly and in good faith. If a process consistently stalls because one or both partners stop engaging productively, it will be restructured as a Guided Resolution.
That’s not a penalty. It’s an honest reflection of what the work requires.
