Does a collaborative divorce cost more or less than mediation?

Since mediation only involves three parties (the two spouses and the mediator), and does not typically involve an attorney, in most cases it will be less expensive than a collaborative divorce. However, even in mediation, hiring an outside attorney to act as a mediation consultant is also an option. In these types of cases, the cost of mediation may not be all that much cheaper that the collaborative process.
