Social Early Neutral Evaluation
The Social Early Neutral Evaluation (ENE) process is designed to evaluate the ability of two people involved in a divorce proceed to resolve their disagreements over child custody and parenting time. We at Johnson Mediation, located in Chanhassen, MN, but also serving Shakopee and many other communities in the state, provide Social Early Neutral Evaluations for divorcing couples who could benefit from determining their ability to resolve such issues.
The Social Early Neutral Evaluation process is designed to be a short-term process and to be completely confidential. It usually requires about one month, from start to finish. Typically, a team consisting of one male and one female, one a mediator and one a representative from Family Court Services, evaluates issues between the divorcing parents and then provides feedback to the divorcing couple.
Mediation is a way to settle all types of disagreements, disputes and problems with minimal conflict and resources expended. A trained mediator serves as a neutral third party who will quickly get up to speed on the issues at hand and help you prioritize the goals for resolution. It is important to understand that a mediator is not a decider, so if you decide to pursue mediation as a mechanism for settling a problem, you and the other party will be empowered to come to the decisions, with the discussion and resolution facilitated by the mediator.
