Is mediation the cheapest option for divorce involving custody?
child custody attorney Pennsylvania Jul 22, 2026
Location: Pennsylvania My ex and I have been separated since September. We wanted to do an uncontested divorce since neither of us are interested in the assets or debts of the other. We've since realized that we need custody and support to be filed legally before we can do this. We both agree 100% on how finances should be handled and both want to do a 50/50 custody split and are on good terms. However, we would like the paperwork to be filled out and filed by someone who knows what they're doing. We had an appointment with a mediator who quoted us $6,000. We don't have anywhere near this kind of money and would need to max out our credit cards to cover it. It feels like we don't really need a "mediator" as we agree on all the terms and just want this done. Is there a service that I can talk to that takes our information and files it with the court? Thank you!
