10.4. When the interests of only the parties are at stake, they have no common dependent children and the dispute concerns the partition of the family patrimony arising from their community of life, the fees payable by the Family Mediation Service for the services provided by one or 2 mediators pursuant to articles 420 to 423 and 605 to 618 of the Code of Civil Procedure (chapter C-25.01) are set on the basis of an hourly rate of $130 for a mediation session and for any work performed outside the sessions in connection with the mediation, such as the drawing up outside the sessions of the summary of the agreements. The Service pays the fees provided for in the first paragraph up to a maximum of 3 hours of mediation, including time spent on work performed, where applicable, outside the sessions in connection with the mediation. Those fees are set at $50 where the mediator’s report states that the parties did not enter into mediation within the allotted time pursuant to article 423 of the Code.
The Service does not pay the fees for the modification of an agreement or for having a judgment rendered on the principal application reviewed.

(2) $130 per hour for each session during which the services of an additional mediator are required by the parties, and for any work performed by the mediator outside the sessions in connection with the mediation.
