The divorce process can be a complicated and difficult time for everyone in a family. It is a process that most of us only go through once in our lives (we hope!) so it is natural to have many questions about the process. Johnson Mediation specializes in providing divorce mediation services for those who are looking for an alternative to settling the terms of your divorce through the courts. Here are some common questions about the divorce mediation process that can help you decide if it is something that you want to pursue.
If you are contemplating a divorce, you may have been advised to consider mediation as a way to settle the important issues such as division of property, assets and debt, development of a parenting plan (or custody agreement) and even determination of appropriate child and/or spousal support. You may have heard that mediation is less expensive and takes less time than litigation, but you may still have questions about the process and how it works. Johnson Mediation specializes in offering professional divorce mediation services and can help you navigate the entire divorce process from start to finish. Read on for an overview of the important aspects of the mediation process.
“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.
The experienced staff at Johnson Mediation can help you navigate even the most complicated, difficult and high conflict divorce. One of the most common hesitations for pursuing mediation as a tool for divorce is the concern about their divorce being too complicated. Mediation participants can actually collaborate with many experts during the process, including attorneys, accountants, and financial planners to help couples successfully divide their property, assets and debts and come up with a parenting plan that works for both parties. There is no divorce too complicated for mediation and you will likely find this process can yield a more positive and productive outcome than an intense, long and expensive court battle.
