COOPERATIVE SEPARATION
A structured way to discuss what comes next.
Neutral mediation gives willing participants a place to organize information, consider options, and work through important decisions. Harmony Point leaves the choices with you.
Understand my next stepLEARN FIRST
Considering separation?
Start with understanding.
You can learn about mediation without choosing it. Free education is available if you are exploring alone, if your partner is not participating, or if you are unsure what comes next.
A joint paid engagement requires appropriate voluntary participation and a human review of scope, suitability, and relevant legal-process context.
Take the free introductionHOW THE ENGAGEMENT WORKS
A clear process.
Space for reflection.
This is an intended rhythm, not a completion guarantee. Complexity, document availability, outside review, and court requirements can change the pace.
Approximately 4–6 hours
Week 2
Structured working sessions
Facilitated discussion of parenting, housing, finances, and other agreed issue categories.
Week 3
Options & preliminary terms
Continue discussion, identify outside-professional questions, and organize preliminary understandings.
Between working phases
Reflection & independent review
Read, gather missing information, and seek independent professional advice without pressure to sign.
Week 4 or 5
Clarification & revisions
Reconvene to clarify questions and revise mediated terms within Harmony Point’s lawful scope.
Remaining included time can support preparation, correspondence, follow-up, and authorized revisions, up to 30 hours total.

Up to 30 professional hours
A structured, neutral process
Time to reflect and seek independent advice
Notice and authorization before additional work
At the additional-time rate, 30 hours would equal $8,550. The fixed $7,395 package is $1,155 less. This compares Harmony Point’s own rates, not a market average.
Separate costs & professional roles
Court filing and service fees, attorney fees, independent legal review, tax advice, appraisals, retirement-order specialists, refinancing, and other third-party expenses are separate unless expressly included in writing.
Review, revisions & payment holds
There is no guarantee of a settlement or court approval. Appropriate later revisions may use remaining included time, or additional authorized time at $285/hour. Services begin after the full engagement fee has been paid. Refunds and cancellations follow the final engagement agreement and applicable law.
