What is Divorce Mediation?
Divorce Mediation is a process by which you can settle your divorce without proceeding through the traditional court systems. In divorce mediation, you and your divorcing spouse work with a neutral, third party to discuss and resolve all aspects of your divorce, including spousal/child support, division of assets, property and debt and the development of a parenting plan. The mediator does not act as a decider in the discussion with you and your spouse, but instead helps facilitate a productive and constructive discussion in a safe environment. You can also elect to allow your respective lawyers to join the discussion if you wish. Divorce Mediation can be a highly effective tool for couples who are looking for a way to resolve issues in their divorce without a lengthy and costly court battle. Johnson Mediation of Chanhassen, MN, specializes in divorce mediation and can help guide you and your divorcing spouse through this complex and difficult time.
The determination of child support payments as part of a divorce settlement can be complex and highly contentious. Each party may have a very different opinion about what is fair given your unique set of circumstances. Divorce mediation allows you and your divorcing spouse to navigate these issues like child support and child custody in an environment that fosters and supports a solution based discussion that can be positive and productive. Divorce mediation can be successful and effective for even the most complicated divorce settlements. Johnson Mediation of Chanhassen, MN specializes in divorce mediation and our team has experience specifically as a child support mediator.
If you are in the process of divorcing your spouse, and are trying to decide how best to settle important issues like division of assets, debts and property, child/spousal support and custody agreements, you have options available to you that do not have to include traditional court processes. Divorce mediation is the process by which you settle the terms of a divorce with the help of a neutral, third party (mediator). Mediation sessions typically last 2 hours and couples discuss the issues that are important and relevant to them. The mediator does not litigate or render a decision, but instead keeps the discussion focused, positive and productive. Johnson Mediation of Chanhassen, MN specializes in comprehensive divorce mediation for couples in the Minnesota area and provides mediation services that seek to minimize conflict and maximize the potential for healthy resolution of differences.
When you begin the divorce process, it can be overwhelming trying to think of everything you’ll need to do, everything you’ll need to know to complete your divorce, and everything you’ll need to address with your partner before the divorce can be finalized. Separating is stressful and emotionally draining enough, regardless of how amicable your separation may be, but when you factor in the divorce process, you’re looking at weeks or months of difficult decisions and potentially huge conflicts as you begin to work through the specifics with your partner.
Divorce is not an easy process for anyone. From making huge changes in your own life to coming to terms with the fact that an entire chapter has come to a close, divorce tests our emotional and mental strength, adding stress to our lives that we probably weren’t expecting. In order to make divorce less stressful, to help ensure you keep your peace of mind throughout the process, and to help you and your spouse maintain a cordial relationship, you may want to consider working with a neutral divorce mediation near you.
