Carl Schneider and Sharon Pickett of MediationMatters.com, Bethesda, Md., maintain that they can wrap up marriages in four to seven sessions at a cost of $3,000 to $8,000 per divorce. When a family business is suffering because the principals are in a bitter divorce, mediation might save the business from going into the toilet."
