Thank you Marie! Our main goal with our divorce was to avoid using attorneys, because of the added cost and conflict. Mediation with Marie was a quick and easy process.

My ex recommended this process and must admit I was really not in a cooperative mindset to begin with. I was wrong. Working with Salt Mediation Group really did make a painful ending so much less stressful and efficient. Highly recommend using this team for an amicable mediation process. Marie Carmel is very professional and knowledgeable.

MEDIATION MAKES DIVORCE EASIER
Save $$
Divorce Lawyers charge between $5K and $10K PER SPOUSE just to start. This initial retainer typically won't even last to your lawyer led mediation session.
Our entire mediation process - through divorce finalization - costs far less than one attorney retainer for one spouse.
Less Stress
Divorce doesn't have to be a war. We lower conflict and stress while focusing on what matters. Fast, calm, private process.
Reach Agreements
Find personalized solutions that work for you and your family. You stay in control - not fighting attorneys or a Judge.
Focus on Your Kids
Choose healthy co-parenting and a parenting plan that keeps your kids at the center.
Why Traditional Divorce Costs Too Much (and Takes Too Long)
Most people think hiring a divorce attorney is the only "how to divorce in Utah" option. It isn’t.
In Utah, you can finalize your divorce without ever going to court — and without paying $10,000–$25,000+, per spouse, in attorney fees.
Salt Mediation Group helps couples who want a better way:
Lower Conflict
You Stay in Control. Unlike court where a judge decides your future, mediation puts you and your spouse in charge. You make all final decisions about property, parenting, and your new life.
Protects Your Family
Children don't testify. Parents don't battle. Instead, you work together to create a co-parenting plan that truly serves your children's best interests.
Builds Communication Skills
Rather than destroying your ability to communicate, mediation teaches you tools for working together—essential if you're co-parenting for years to come.
Common Questions About Utah Divorce Mediation
DO I NEED AN ATTORNEY FOR DIVORCE MEDIATION?
No. Most Utah divorces can be finalized without attorneys if both parties agree. However, you always have the option to consult with or retain an attorney if you wish.
WILL WE HAVE TO GO TO COURT?
No. All filings are handled for you, and no court appearance is required.
HOW LONG DOES MEDIATION TAKE?
Most couples use one or two mediation session. Once a final agreements are made, cases are finalized in about 45 days.
WHAT IF WE DISAGREE ON A FEW THINGS?
That’s what Utah divorce mediation is for — helping you reach fair, realistic compromises.
WHAT IF WE ALREADY AGREE ON EVERYTHING?
If you and your spouse have already reached agreements on all divorce issues, then is called an uncontested divorce. This is the easiest and fastest way to divorce. Schedule a free consultation to get started.
IS THIS LEGALLY BINDING?
Yes. Your documents are attorney-prepared and signed by a judge.
SALT MEDIATION STEPS
4 Steps to Divorce
01
CONSULTATION. Your consultation is the first step toward a smoother, more informed divorce process. We’ll walk you through exactly how mediation works, what to expect at each stage, and how to prepare. You'll have the chance to ask questions, get clear answers, and leave with a full understanding of how we can help.
Both spouses must attend the consultation and be open to working together through mediation. This ensures the process starts on the right foot — with clarity, cooperation, and a shared commitment to resolution.
02
PREPARE. Before your first mediation session, we’ll provide you with everything you need — including a clear checklist and personalized timeline — so you know exactly what to gather and how to prepare.
We also conduct a comprehensive financial review ahead of time, so your mediator comes to the table fully informed and ready to guide a productive conversation.
With both you and your mediator prepared, you’ll be able to make informed decisions and reach agreements that work — faster and with less stress.
03
MEDIATION. We create a calm, supportive environment so you feel confident and prepared — two key ingredients for productive negotiation.
During mediation, you and your spouse start in separate spaces, allowing for open and focused conversation. Your mediator will guide the entire process, moving between rooms, facilitating discussion, and helping you work toward thoughtful, balanced agreements every step of the way.
04
FINALIZE. Once you and your spouse reach an agreement, our divorce Attorney-Mediator takes it from there. We prepare all required legal documents, file them with the court, and manage every step needed to finalize your divorce or legal separation.
No court appearances. No hassle. Your divorce is handled privately, professionally, and with complete peace of mind - so you can focus on moving forward.
LITIGATION HURTS FAMILIES.
MEDIATION IS LOW CONFLICT.
We successfully settle over 95% of our cases through mediation — helping couples reach fair, lasting agreements without the need for court intervention.
Mediation creates win-win outcomes, where both parties have a voice and stay in control. In contrast, litigation often leads to lose-lose results, with your future decided by attorneys and judges who don’t know your life or your family.
Choose clarity, cooperation, and control — not conflict.
