Child Support Adjustment Mediator
Child support is one of the most important components of divorce mediation. Unfortunately, the conclusion of a divorce process—whether litigated through the court system or handled through divorce mediation—does not always mean that all problems with child support will go away. If you need to make an adjustment to your child-support agreement, you will need to file a motion in order to finalize the adjustment, and Johnson Mediation can help you. This motion will need to be filed in the court that issued the initial child support agreement. The forms associated with adjustments to child support agreements can be complex and confusing, but we have the experience and expertise to help you. If you need to lower your payments or request that your former spouse increase payment, it is best to have the support of a divorce mediator who has the experience to do it correctly, the first time.
Divorce mediation can be a highly effective way to settle the important aspects of your divorce and is now one of the most frequently used methods in our country. It can work for the vast majority of couples, offering a less expensive, less contentious and less time consuming option than proceeding via the traditional court system. Divorce mediation can help you resolve many issues in a divorce including the division of property, debts and assets, development of a parenting plan (or custody agreement), and negotiation of spousal and/or child support. Mediation is most successful when both parties are willing to compromise and listen to the other’s point of view to find solutions that will work well for all parties. Johnson Mediation specializes in comprehensive divorce mediation services and can guide you through the entire divorce process, offering tools and resources so that you can make informed decisions about your future.

Divorce is difficult for all involved – and when there are children involved this difficulty is compounded. Often, when custody issues cannot be resolved easily, a judge may decide to refer the case for what is called a Social Early Neutral Evaluation (SENE) process that is a confidential and relatively quick way to resolve the custody dispute. This process uses two professionals, generally one man and one woman. One of the professionals is a lawyer and the other a child specialist. Johnson Mediation offers comprehensive divorce mediation services and can complete a Social Early Neutral Evaluation when requested by the court system.
“How to divorce?” is unfortunately a common question. Although it can be a tough situation, litigation is not the only answer. Many people are unaware that mediation is not only an alternative, but statistics show that by a large margin, divorcing couples are greatly more satisfied compared to couples who decide to take their divorce directly to court.
