Carl Arnold offers Custody/Parenting Time Evaluations. The cost is $7,000 (total, not per parent) for the investigation and report. This is a flat fee. It does not include testimony or other work, which are additional fees.
(If you are looking for a Sliding Fee Scale for Collaborative Divorce rather than Mediation, please visit the Collaborative Law Institute of Minnesota Sliding Scale Fee Program webpage. Carl Arnold offers reduced hourly rates for Collaborative Divorce through that program.)
We typically accept the following Sliding Fee Scale rates for attorney-referred mediation. However, we reserve the right not to offer a reduced rate or offer a different rate where the circumstances seem to make a reduced rate unreasonable in our view. For example, a reduced rate may be unreasonable where the total family income is higher than average, where there are significant assets or where a new significant other has income that allows a person to work less.
These mediation fees are the rates/cost per person rather than per family. There is a minimum fee of $240/person for mediation.

*Individual Gross Annual Income is your individual yearly income before taxes or any other deductions. For example, if you have a yearly salary, that is your annual gross income. If you receive bonus income, that would be added to your salary to calculate Gross Annual Income. If you do not have a salary and instead have an hourly wage, your Gross Annual Income is calculated by your hourly wage times your average weekly hours that you work times 52 weeks in a year.
