For many of us, the thought of having meetings over the computer rather than in person may have seemed impossible, unnecessary or just not practical. Before 2020, virtual meetings were highly unusual. But, since that time, our society has transitioned to more flexible work options, working from home and zoom meetings have become common for all types of meetings and appointments. Mediation services have benefited from this transition to virtual meetings and the results for families have been highly successful. Johnson Mediation now offers virtual divorce mediation services to couples all over Minnesota. We have found that there are many benefits of settling the terms of your divorce virtually rather than in person.
1. Easier to schedule: When you can complete mediation from a remote location, there are many more options for scheduling. You do not have to factor in travel time and distance between the two parties. Virtual divorce mediation is ideal for couples who live in different areas.
2. Faster resolution: You can also schedule virtual mediation sessions closer together and that can mean that the process will move more quickly, allowing you to move forward with your life faster.
3. Confidential and private: When you complete divorce mediation virtually, you do not have to worry about running into your ex in person, or feeling like you are airing your problems where someone else can here.
4. More comfortable: The team at Johnson Mediation finds that when individuals complete mediation in a place they are comfortable, that the results are generally more positive all around. You can log on to your mediation sessions from the comfort of your own home!
5. Saves you money: When you do not have to pay for travel costs including gas, wear and tear on your car, etc. the cost of mediation can decrease. All you need to have is an internet connection and a mobile device to connect to our zoom session. When you partner with the team at Johnson Mediation, you can expect to spend between two and ten times less than if you proceed through the traditional court system.
