How Much Does a Divorce Cost?

Mediation versus divorceOne of the most common questions asked about divorce is how much it will cost. The first thing to understand is that you have choices when it comes to settling the difficult aspects of your marriage. You can seek resolution through the traditional court system or you can settle your divorce with the help of a divorce mediator. As you are likely already aware, when it comes to divorce, the costs can add up both financially as well as emotionally. Below you will find some basic information about the cost of divorce.

Divorcing Partners Chanhassen

Divorce MediatorDivorce mediation has become not only much more common over the last several decades but, in many cases, it has become the preferred choice of partners who have chosen to end their married relationship. More couples are showing a preference for not entering into the more traditional court-centered divorce process, but opting instead to resolve the terms of their divorce in a more cooperative way. If you find yourself in such a place and you live in the Chanhassen, Minnesota area, consider reaching out to Johnson Mediation for more information about how divorce mediation might work for you.

Divorce Attorney

Divorce MediatorIf you are preparing for a divorce, you may assume that the only way to get an equitable and fair settlement is to hire a divorce attorney to represent you and your interests. But, moving ahead with litigation to settle the important aspects of your divorce may not be the only (or even the best) way forward. Litigation can be expensive and time consuming and does not often provide you with any element of control over the outcome. The court system generally decides how your assets and property are divided and how your children’s time is divided between you and your divorcing spouse.

Post-Divorce Support

Post divorce mediatorDivorce can be hard. We at Johnson Mediation lend our experience, expertise, and empathy to help you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. We also understand that the support many people need does not stop being needed just because the divorce has been finalized. If you are divorced and are not one of the lucky few who gets along well with your former spouse, we can help you. We recognize that, while the signed and notarized divorce papers mark the end of a marriage, they do not necessarily end the complex relationship you have with your former spouse.

Divorcing Partners

Divorce MediatorDivorce is often characterized in our society as highly contentious, with intense emotions, competing priorities which often lead to a nasty, bitter end to an unhappy marriage. Conflict is the foundation for many divorces in our country — but it does not have to be this way. Rather than looking at divorce as a battle, it is possible to view it differently. Divorcing spouses can instead choose to settle the terms of a divorce with cooperation and a focus on the future, rather than the past. In fact, the idea that you and your soon to be ex-spouse are partners, rather than adversaries can go a long way toward finding solutions that put your family first and help you through this difficult time.
