Stacy's hourly rate is normally divided equally between the parties. Alternate arrangements can be made with parties if necessary. Each mediation session lasts approximately 2 to 2 ½ hours. If the parties want to extend the session and the session is being productive, Stacy is willing to do that. Parties will take breaks during the session for everyone's benefit, and if the session is no longer being productive, Stacy will end a particular session.
