OUR MEDIATORS

MARIE CARMEL

Divorce Mediator

Co-Founder of Salt Mediation Group

​

With over 8 years of hands-on experience, Marie brings a rare combination of divorce knowledge, financial insight, and personal understanding to every mediation.

​

Before becoming a full-time mediator, Marie spent more than five years as a senior paralegal and divorce financial specialist, helping clients navigate the legal and financial complexities of family law. Today, she draws on that background to guide couples through the divorce process with clarity, compassion, and efficiency.

​

Marie is known for her no-nonsense approach, creative problem-solving, and calm presence in even the most difficult conversations. She has a unique ability to keep discussions focused and productive while helping clients feel seen, heard, and respected.

​

As a divorced, single mother of four, Marie understands firsthand the emotional and logistical challenges that come with ending a marriage. Her personal experience gives her an authentic sense of empathy and relatability that clients deeply appreciate.

​

When she’s not mediating, you’ll likely find her hiking/backpacking in the mountains, reading a good book, hanging with her kids, or sipping champagne with friends.

Outside the office, Wade finds his greatest joy spending time with his wife and children. He’s also an avid golfer and enjoys soaking up the outdoors whenever he can.

WHY MEDIATE?

In Utah, mediation is required in contested divorce cases — and for good reason.

Mediation offers a faster, more cost-effective way to resolve issues without going to court. Instead of leaving decisions to a judge, you stay in control of the outcome. With the guidance of a skilled mediator, you can reach fair, lasting agreements that work for your unique situation — all while saving time, money, and stress.

WHAT IS THE COST?

We offer clear, upfront pricing with no surprise bills, at a fraction of the cost of using lawyers. Our flat fee's start at $750 per spouse plus any applicable court filing fees.

WHY SALT?

We’re not just mediators. We’re a full-service divorce team that handles everything — including all court-required documents, filings, and procedural steps — so you never have to set foot in a courthouse or speak to a judge. Plus, our typical divorce case takes only 45-60 days, start to finish.

EASY SCHEDULING

We all have lives and busy schedules. As such, we offer easy online scheduling and evening appointments for those who have difficulty taking off work during normal business hours.

LEAVE THE FILING TO US

We take care of all your paperwork and walk you through every step. From the initial Divorce Petition, to reaching an agreement (Stipulation), to your final Decree of Divorce.

CONVENIENT LOCATIONS

Whether you choose virtual or in-person mediation, we prioritize your comfort and privacy every step of the way.

Our process is designed to keep things calm, respectful, and focused — no matter where you are in Utah.

WE BELIEVE PEOPLE HAVE THE ABILITY TO FIND SOLUTIONS AND MAKE HEALTHY CHOICES.
