$1,500 flat for a 2-hour block · $300/hr beyond that · divviResolve included for pre-session homework

When a live mediator makes sense.

When
divviResolve narrowed it to one or two open issues
Why it works
A single 2-hour live session usually closes the gap faster than another round of async back-and-forth.
When
High-conflict custody or parent-time dispute
Why it works
A mediator can de-escalate tension and keep both of you focused on the child's needs, not the history.
When
Court ordered mediation before a hearing
Why it works
Utah courts often require mediation before a contested modification hearing. divvi handles the booking and paperwork.
When
Complex support or alimony recalculation
Why it works
A mediator can walk through the worksheet, income disputes, and imputed-income arguments live.

Book to order, four steps.

01
Book your session
Choose a Utah court-roster-qualified mediator from the divvi network. Sessions are a 2-hour Zoom block, $1,500 flat — split between both parties if you'd like.
02
Pre-session brief
divvi sends the mediator your modification issue, original decree terms, and what's changed — so the session starts working, not explaining.
03
The 2-hour session
Live over Zoom. If you need more time, additional time is $300/hour. Most modification disputes resolve within the 2-hour block.
04
Agreement to order
Whatever you agree to gets documented immediately. divvi generates the Stipulated Modification and proposed Order — designed for filing, same day.

Not the same as divorce Mediate. Modification mediation is the same $1,500 flat price as divorce mediation, but a focused 2-hour block scoped to the specific term you're changing rather than the 3-hour block used for a full divorce settlement. Working through an original divorce? See divviMediate for divorce instead.

Questions

Do I have to try divviResolve first?
No — you can book a mediator directly. But Resolve is included with your $300 divviModify, so it costs nothing extra to try it first — many couples narrow or settle their dispute before a live session is ever needed.
Why is this different from divviMediate for divorce?
Same $1,500 flat price, different block: modifications book a focused 2-hour session, versus the 3-hour block used for an original divorce. Modification disputes are typically narrower — one or two changed terms, not a full settlement.
What happens if we run past 2 hours?
Additional time is billed at $300/hour. Most modification sessions — narrower in scope than a full divorce — resolve within the 2-hour block.
Are divvi's mediators court-roster-qualified?
Divvi mediators have completed the Utah court-approved domestic mediation qualifications and are court-roster-qualified. We verify each mediator's qualifications individually before they join the network.
What if we still can't agree after the session?
You move to a contested hearing. divvi can connect you with a Utah family law attorney for the remaining disputed terms.

Frequently asked questions

When can I modify a Utah divorce decree?

When something has changed since the order was entered — but Utah sets a different bar depending on what you're changing, and this is the detail most people get wrong. Parent-time needs only 'a change in circumstances' (Utah Code § 81-9-208(1)(b)) — a lower bar than custody, which needs a 'substantial and material' change (§ 81-9-208(1)(a)). Child support needs a substantial change AND a 15% difference between the ordered amount and the current guideline amount, and the difference must not be temporary (§ 81-6-212(3)-(4)) — or, separately, if it has been three or more years since the order, a 10% difference with no showing of changed circumstances at all (§ 81-6-212(5)). Alimony needs a 'substantial material change' that is not already addressed in your decree (§ 81-4-504).

What can be modified after divorce?

The most common modifications are to child custody and parent-time, child support amounts, and alimony. Property division in the original decree generally cannot be reopened.

Do both spouses have to agree to a modification?

No. If you both agree, an uncontested modification is straightforward. If your ex disagrees, you can still file a contested modification and, if needed, use mediation to try to resolve it.

How much does a modification cost with divvi?

A modification is $300 flat with divviModify, whether or not children are involved — and that price covers the whole process. If your ex disagrees, divviResolve AI-guided negotiation is included at no extra cost. If you need a live mediator, a divviMediate session is $1,500 flat (a 2-hour block for modifications). You'll also pay any court filing fee that applies to your modification.
