Save Money With A Mediation Lawyer
If you and your spouse have decided to divorce and are interested in a low-cost, flat fee for an experienced Fairview Heights, IL mediation lawyer to get you through this, Lawyer Amanda at Flat Fee Divorce Solutions is here to help. Before starting Flat Fee Divorce Solutions in 2012, Amanda was a trial litigator for nine years. She spent her days in suits standing before judges, successfully litigating, trying cases, and arguing motions. She began to realize that her work was in a system that was designed to force people into debt or settlement- and that this was not a financially viable way to divorce nor was it a healthy lifestyle for herself. Amanda started Flat Fee Divorce Solutions to help families that need a good divorce lawyer who encourages them to save money by coming to reasonable agreements that are fair to everyone in the family. If you want to save money and you and your ex are willing to negotiate amicably, contact Amanda today to get started on your flat fee divorce.
Tailored Divorce Plan
Amanda understands that even the most amicable divorce is still complicated and tough emotionally and that no two divorces are alike. To develop a customized plan to help ensure that her client’s needs are met, she takes the time to get to know them. If doing this for an affordable rate appeals to you, Amanda might be the right Fairview Heights mediation lawyer for you.
Peaceful Divorce
Many ex-couples who decide to save money on their divorce and are confident they can do so peacefully and without arguments, get stuck on one or two things. If you and your ex have agreed to agree but can’t agree on something such as who gets the couch or the piece of street art you bought on your first trip to Chicago together, divorce and mediation lawyer Amanda can probably help you to work these types of things out. If you can’t agree on child custody or visitation, or big-ticket items such as who gets to remain in the family home and who needs to move out, these are not the kinds of cases that Amanda takes. Amanda’s definition of a peaceful divorce is one where clients move through the process without arguments, fights, and spending much of their valuable time in tedious courtroom hearings and proceedings.
Inexpensive Divorce
For Illinois divorces, Amanda charges as little as $1900 if there are no children involved and if there is a child or children, her prices start at $2400. If you and your soon-to-be ex think you can be successful at an uncontested divorce and are ready to move forward with a low-cost divorce without any hidden strings, Amanda may be the right divorce lawyer for you. Please note that Amanda only represents one party in a divorce, she cannot represent your ex too.

Types Of Mediation Cases I Handle
When a family issue becomes a legal matter, it’s easy for emotions to take over. Many people want to avoid going to court but don’t know what options are available. That’s where mediation can be helpful. As a family law attorney, I focus on working with individuals who want to resolve their family matters privately, respectfully, and efficiently. At Flat Fee Divorce Solutions, I help clients prepare for mediation so they can feel confident and informed throughout the process.
Divorce Involving Property And Financial Decisions
Many of my clients are going through a divorce and need help addressing how to divide their assets and debts. This might include property, checking and savings accounts, retirement plans, or vehicles. I work with each client to help them understand what to expect in mediation and how to prepare for these discussions. While I do not attend mediation sessions, I help my clients get organized, set goals, and review the proposed terms so they feel comfortable making informed decisions.
Parenting Time And Parental Allocation Planning
For parents, mediation can be an effective way to create a parenting plan. These plans address how major decisions will be shared (formerly known as custody) and how parenting time (previously called visitation) will be arranged. I help clients understand the legal framework and what topics are typically covered in mediation. I also help draft and review proposed parenting plans to make sure the terms support their child’s needs and align with Illinois law.
Changes To Previous Divorce Or Parenting Agreements
Even after a divorce is finalized, life can change. A move, a job change, or adjustments in a child’s schedule can affect existing arrangements. Mediation is often the preferred way to revise prior agreements without conflict. When clients come to me with a need to update their legal documents, I assist with preparing for mediation and reviewing any proposed changes afterward, so the new terms are clear and legally sound.
Financial Support Between Spouses
Some of the individuals I represent have questions about spousal support, also known as maintenance in Illinois. Whether a client is requesting support or being asked to pay it, I provide guidance based on state guidelines and past outcomes. While the final decisions are made during mediation, I help clients understand how support is calculated and what options are reasonable to consider and feel prepared going into their mediation meetings. After mediation, I’ll review the drafted terms with you and confirm they reflect what was discussed.
Agreements Between Unmarried Parents Or Partners
Not all family law issues involve a divorce. I also work with individuals who were never married but share parenting responsibilities or financial ties. Mediation is a useful way for them to reach agreements about parenting time, financial contributions, or how to divide shared property. I help my clients organize their goals and prepare for the mediation process, then assist in reviewing any agreements before they are finalized.
As a Fairview Heights, IL mediation lawyer, I support individuals who want a low-conflict way to resolve important family decisions. While I do not attend mediation sessions, I help my clients feel ready and supported at every step. If you’re preparing for family mediation and want legal support focused on your goals, I invite you to contact me at Flat Fee Divorce Solutions. I offer clear, practical guidance to help you move forward with confidence.
