How Our Fees Work

Divorce is difficult enough without the added stress of unpredictable costs. Here is how the fees are structured, so you can focus on making thoughtful decisions instead of worrying about hidden charges.

Initial Consultation

Your first consultation is a dedicated time to talk through your situation in a supportive, low pressure setting. We use it to understand your priorities, answer your questions, and explain how mediation works.

Ongoing Mediation Sessions

Sessions after the initial consultation are billed hourly, and how many you need depends on the complexity of your situation. The aim is to help you move forward efficiently and thoughtfully, without unnecessary time or cost.

Sharing the Cost

Most couples choose to share the mediation fees equally, which helps keep the process balanced and fair. Arrangements stay flexible and can be adjusted to your circumstances.

Jacksonville Divorce Mediation: Common Questions

Can we mediate by video?

Yes. Sessions are often held by video, so couples in Jacksonville and the rest of Northeast Florida can take part from home, even when you now live in different places.

What does divorce mediation cost in Jacksonville?

Cost mostly depends on how many sessions you need, which depends on how many issues are still open. The estimator above gives a rough range, our fees page explains how billing works, and your free case review is the place to get a figure for your situation.

Can we mediate if our case is filed in Duval County?

In many cases, yes. Couples often mediate after a case has been filed. Your mediator can tell you how mediation would fit alongside your court schedule.

Can mediation help us build a parenting plan?

Yes. Parenting schedules, holidays, school decisions and support can all be worked through in mediation. Your mediator can walk you through how the guidelines tend to apply to your family.

Do we have to agree on everything before we start?

No. Most couples start with open questions about the house, finances or parenting. Working through those is what mediation is for. What matters most is that both of you are willing to take part.

Tim Dowling – Founder & CEO, Resolvium Mediation Group

I’m Tim Dowling, the founder of Resolvium Mediation Group, and I built this company with one clear goal in mind: to change the way families experience divorce. After 25 years navigating complex contracts, litigation, and high-stakes negotiations, I saw just how broken, adversarial, and financially devastating the traditional divorce process can be. I knew there had to be a better way, and I created one.

My career spans corporate finance, banking, mortgage, and legal operations, including hands-on litigation work and legal team strategy consulting. This experience has given me an insider’s view of how the legal system functions and how traditional models often fail families in crisis. It further fueled my desire to build something better: a streamlined, client-first approach to divorce that delivers clarity, structure, and peace of mind.

I’ve trained extensively in law and dispute resolution, including formal education at the Pepperdine Caruso School of Law and the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution, one of the nation’s leading programs for mediation and conflict management. I also studied in Professional Studies at Northwestern University, where I deepened my skills in negotiation, client communication, and structured settlement design. I bring that legal foundation together with practical experience to lead a model that prioritizes resolution over conflict, and results over chaos.

Resolvium isn’t just a mediation firm. It’s a system and support model designed to help both clients and professionals. For families, we offer efficient, structured divorce solutions, including our signature 5-Day Divorce, that preserve assets, protect children, and keep decisions in your hands, not a judge’s. For licensees, we offer a turnkey business platform with legal infrastructure, marketing systems, and mentorship, empowering mediators to build a mission-driven practice with clarity and confidence.

This work is personal to me. Every case resolved outside of court, every client protected from prolonged conflict, and every mediator we support in the field brings us closer to our mission: transforming how families separate, with peace, dignity, and forward momentum.

If you’re navigating a divorce or seeking to grow your career as a conflict resolution professional, I welcome you to explore Resolvium. We’re leading a better way forward, and there’s room for you in it.
