Need Help Getting My Spouse to the Negotiating Table

Spouse CooperationIf you and your spouse have decided to divorce, you likely have very different opinions on many things and settling your divorce will be no different. Divorce can bring out strong emotions from both parties and is widely regarded as one of the most stressful life events, alongside things like the death of a loved one, a sudden job loss and a health scare. And yet, many important decisions must be made through the divorce process that create a path forward for both you and your divorcing spouse. Some seek solutions via the court system, and other couples decide to pursue divorce mediation to negotiate the important issues in a divorce. You may wish to go the mediation route because it is drastically less expensive, less stressful and takes less time, but because mediation is entirely voluntary, your partner has to agree to move in this direction. If you live in the Chanhassen, Shakopee, Richfield, Bloomington, MN area, Johnson Mediation can help you get your spouse to the negotiating table so that you can move forward in a positive and productive way.
