Practice Areas

Community Mediation Center

Price Mediation is staffed by trained professionals dedicated to helping individuals, families, and organizations resolve conflict constructively and outside of the courtroom. As a community mediation center, we provide mediation across a wide range of issue types, including family mediation, landlord‑tenant disputes, small‑claims matters, neighbor conflicts, workplace concerns, and other civil disagreements. Our team combines mediation expertise, professional legal document preparation, and client‑centered support to promote resolution, reduce conflict, and expand access to justice.

Divorce & Legal Separation Mediation

We help spouses resolve divorce and separation issues outside of court, including timelines, disclosures, and settlement terms—reducing cost, delay, and conflict while keeping decisions in the parties’ control.

Child Custody & Parenting Plans

We assist parents in creating clear, workable custody and parenting plans that prioritize the best interests of the child and support long‑term co‑parenting.

Child Support

We facilitate agreements on child support that are fair, practical, and informed by California guidelines—while allowing flexibility that courts often cannot provide.

Spousal Support (Alimony)

Mediation provides a structured setting to address temporary or long‑term spousal support, focusing on realistic needs, financial capacity, and future stability.

Property & Asset Division

We help parties work through the division of community and separate property, including real estate, retirement accounts, and debts, in a cooperative and efficient manner.

Post‑Judgment Modifications

We assist families with changes to custody, parenting plans, or support orders when circumstances evolve—helping avoid renewed litigation.

Co‑Parenting & Communication Issues

Mediation addresses ongoing conflict between parents, improves communication, and helps establish boundaries and expectations that support healthier family dynamics.

Parentage & Unmarried Parents

We assist unmarried parents with the establishment of the legal parental relationship as well as custody, parenting plans, and support issues—providing clarity, structure, and child‑focused solutions without unnecessary court involvement.

We are ready to help you.

About Price Mediation

Price Mediation is a nonprofit community mediation center that provides mediation and professional legal document preparation services designed to reduce conflict, cost, and uncertainty for families navigating divorce, custody, and support issues.


We help clients resolve disputes through structured mediation whenever possible, allowing parties to retain control over decisions affecting their children, finances, and future—rather than placing those decisions in the hands of the court.

In addition to mediation, we offer professional legal document preparation services, with or without mediation, for individuals who need accurate, court‑ready family‑law documents but do not require—or prefer not to engage in—full mediation services.


Our work emphasizes clarity, efficiency, and child‑focused outcomes, with the goal of helping families move forward with stability and dignity while avoiding unnecessary litigation.
