Stay Married mediation is an alternative to divorce. It involves a neutral third-party mediator who works with both spouses to identify issues, improve communication, and develop practical solutions the parties can agree to. Often it involves a written agreement outlining the willingness to commit to the relationship and try new methods of solving conflict.

The mediator navigates disagreements in finances, parenting, household responsibilities, and other common marital challenges in a structured, collaborative environment. Sessions typically focus on rebuilding trust, establishing healthier boundaries, and creating agreements about how to handle future disputes more constructively.

This approach is especially helpful when couples need solutions to specific problems rather than extensive psychological exploration. The goal is to develop the tools necessary for a healthier relationship while addressing the issues that cause stress or conflict. Both parties need to be willing and open to discuss issues and solutions.

Stay Married mediation is usually a multi-session process with a minimum of two sessions, each lasting no longer than 2 hours. At the first session, the mediator will meet with each person separately and then meet with both parties together. Stay Married mediation can be conducted in person or virtually. Each session is $200.
