Part 8 of 8

Fees and Fee Agreement

More than 17 minutes late $ 35, with no further visits scheduled until the case is referred back to court. The fees above are based on communication that is EMAIL; phone communications are charged at the full fee and not the discounted email fee. You will need to add a $10 per visit for phone-based communications if you choose to not use the email communications

Payment Responsibility

Court-ordered families are assigned payment responsibility by the court. Other referring agencies may indicate in writing who will be responsible for payment. If the referring agency does not indicate who will be responsible for payment, THE THERAPEUTIC SOLUTION will assign financial responsibility. Service will not be provided until a fee agreement is signed by both parties and the initial payment is received.

Cancellations

All cancellations must be made at least 48 hours in advance of a scheduled appointment or visitation. Parents are not charged if proper notice is given; this is expected during business or supervision hours. The party who cancels outside of the time frame will be charged the full visitation fee, regardless of which parent is responsible for visitation cost.

No Show

A party who fails to arrive for an appointment and has not notified the Center will be charged the entire amount of the service. Rescheduling of visits will depend on the Center’s availability and cannot be guaranteed. Two cancellations without notification will result in termination of services and notice will be sent to the referring agency. Services may be suspended or terminated due to non-payment.

Court Testimony

A retainer fee of $1000 is required in advance to the party issuing the subpoena, with an additional $125 per hour fee for waiting time in court and preparation, with a minimum of two hours of preparation for court. It is understood that no further information is generally available or useful outside of the Observation Monitoring Sheets which are prepared and submitted to the Court, creating no need for court testimony since Therapeutic Solution makes neither recommendations nor interpretations of the visit.

All fees can be paid online at our website www.tts-nv.com or by cash (via cashapp), cashier’s check, money order, or Visa/MasterCard. Payments are paid in advance of the next visit. Payment for the next visit is made at the time of the current visitation/exchange. Any charge cards being used will need to be in your possession and a separate form filled out for ongoing use for the card for regular billing.

Payment for Visits

All fees are required one week in advance of the visit. We believe this is thoughtful to the children and the other parents in scheduling. It also provides both parents with the advance planning necessary to save money and also to plan the visit. I am showing my commitment to visiting with my children by consistently paying for my visits in advance to regularly and routinely have contact with them.
