Some charge more; some less. The important point is that the hourly fee of your attorney is the same whether your attorney is working on a legal document or who gets the college chest &#8211; a distinctively non-legal issue.<\/p>\n<p>Experienced neutrals charge between $175.00 and $275.00 per hour and can save you real money.<\/p>\n<p>Who can use Neutrals? \u00a0Parties in contested divorces are already using neutrals to do real estate or business appraisals. So why not other neutrals?\u00a0 Parties trying to \u201cwork it out\u201d on their own can really cut costs with neutrals. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.divorcingoptions.com\/collaborative.php\">The Collaborative Divorce Process<\/a>\u00a0 uses neutrals in most cases.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/massclc.org\/member\/573\">Ginny Simon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/massclc.org\/member\/485\">Linda Cohan<\/a> are respected Facilitator Neutrals. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.solutionsfordivorce.com\/\">Diane Pappas<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/northshorecollaborativedivorce.com\/\">Jody Goldman<\/a> are respected Financial Neutrals.
