Divorce During Covid-19
2020 has been a year like no other. Our country has faced the first pandemic in nearly 100 years, and we have experienced many changes in just a few short months. Social distancing is now recommended, many businesses have closed their doors, people are working remotely and wearing masks, and schools are closed all in an effort to keep people safe. COVID-19 has changed our daily life. However, despite the need to prevent spread of the disease, there are things in our lives that still need to move forward. For couples who made the very difficult decision to divorce and are ready to navigate the process, Johnson Mediation can help.
Johnson Mediation understands that divorce ends a marriage, but it may not end the conflict that led to your divorce in the first place. It is for that reason that we offer mediation help after your divorce. We are ideally located as a resource for families who live in the Southern Twin Cities suburbs. Our team is extremely proud of the positive local reputation we have earned as exceptional mediators with a deep understanding of Minnesota divorce law. When issues arise between you and your former spouse after divorce, we can provide the mediation assistance you need. There are many benefits of working with Johnson Mediation after your divorce. We tell our clients that while it might be common to believe that finalizing your divorce means that all conflicts have been resolved, divorce is just the beginning of a new phase of your relationship. In fact, the relief that often comes with finalizing a divorce can lead us into a false sense of security, which can be quickly disrupted when a new conflict arises because of a normal life change.
Every divorce is different. Johnson Mediation works hard to meet the unique needs of every couple and family. One question that frequently comes up when we speak with clients who are considering a divorce is what type of service fits their situation best. We can answer your questions and provide specific information about our divorce support services so that you can make the best decision for your family. Two highly effective and popular services are divorce mediation and divorce coaching. Jeff Johnson, founder of Johnson Mediation can serve as either your divorce mediator OR your divorce coach, depending on your needs and your preferences.
While Johnson Mediation specializes in helping couples avoid the difficulties associated with court-based divorces by comprehensive mediation services, there are times when one member of a divorcing couple needs the assistance of a divorce coach. This need can arise when your spouse is not as invested in settling the terms of your divorce in an amicable way. If your spouse is resistant to the idea of mediated divorce and seems intent on contesting your divorce, Johnson Mediation’s divorce coaching service can be of great help to you.
One of the most common reasons that a marriage does not work is related to poor (or lack of) communication. However, a divorce is not the end of the need to communicate for many couples, especially if they share children. Even if you have decided to divorce because of communication issues, it may be time to repair your relationship enough to be civil while you navigate your divorce so that your communication can be healthy after your divorce. Johnson Mediation offers divorce coaching that is specifically offered to improve interpersonal communication and to help you navigate the entire divorce process.
Divorce is an extremely difficult and stressful time for most individuals. It is even often listed as one of the top 5 most stressful life events. If you and your spouse have decided it is time for divorce, it may be a good opportunity to consider what type of support you need to get through this challenging time. One little known source of support during a divorce can be a divorce coach. Unlike a divorce attorney, a divorce coach does NOT offer legal advice. A divorce coach can be used in addition to or instead of a divorce lawyer and…
