Syringa Mediation Spokane

The Process

  • Step One: We find a time and date for Mediation that will work for both parties. We work with each party to determine the need for a sliding scale. Each party pays the mediation fees proportionate to their income. Parties must submit their most recent paystub to qualify for the sliding scale. The agreed upon rate for mediation will be reflected in the Service Agreement.
  • Step Two: Parties sign the Agreement to Mediate and the Service Agreement, sent by Adobe.
  • Step three: An invoice for the first hour of mediation will be sent to each party as a deposit.  The deposit will be applied to your mediation.
  • Step five: Once the Agreement to Mediate and the Service Agreement is signed, and the deposit is paid, we send you zoom links for mediation, or information about our in person meeting.
  • Step six: Mediation occurs. We try to stick with no more than four hours as parties can get tired, though we are happy to continue if both parties wish to continue. If an agreement is reached, the parties will sign the mediated agreement while we are in mediation and receive a copy.
  • Step seven: we finish billing and send instructions for next steps.
