Divorce Plan in a Day
A focused day. A practical plan for your family.
Work toward agreement on parenting, support, property, and debts with Carolyn M. Bone, a certified South Carolina Family Court mediator. Mediation gives both people a voice and the freedom to decide whether a proposed solution works for them.
For parties without attorneys: $3,500 flat fee for a full day of mediation. Meet in Summerville or virtually from anywhere in South Carolina.
Carolyn serves as a neutral mediator and represents neither party. She can explain the process and general legal principles, but cannot give either person legal advice or prepare court pleadings. Independent legal review is encouraged before signing an agreement.
The goal is a settlement plan, not a same-day divorce. Agreement is not guaranteed, and South Carolina filing requirements, waiting periods, and court approval still apply.

Why Mediate?
Keep a voice in decisions that affect your family. Mediation offers a structured setting to explore solutions for parenting, support, property, and debts.
A negotiated agreement may reduce the time, expense, and stress of contested litigation. Even a partial agreement can narrow the issues that remain.
You decide whether to accept a proposal. Carolyn helps guide the discussion without choosing sides or making decisions for you.
What is Mediation?
Mediation is a confidential conversation, subject to legal exceptions, with a neutral person who helps you explore mutually acceptable solutions.
You may meet together, separately, or both. Carolyn explains the process and helps identify options, while each party decides what to accept. She represents neither person and cannot give individual legal advice.
If agreement is reached, she prepares a written summary. Independent legal review, court documents, and court approval remain separate steps.
