Is there any free or low-cost mediation available?

Yes. New Jersey's court-connected mediation program provides the first two hours of a roster mediator's time at no charge under Court Rule 1:40-4(b), which works out to one hour of preparation and one hour in the room. After that, mediators charge their standard rates, shared between the parties. Private mediation, like the service we offer at P8, gives you more flexibility over scheduling, pace, and the mediator you work with.
