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 mediation is encouraged by the court system, because it is simply not equipped to handle the volume of cases.

“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.
Comprehensive mediation for divorcing couples is a program that is designed for couples that are somewhat amicable, but want to seek professional help to make informed decisions about important issues and concerns such as negotiating property, taxes, retirement funds, child custody, and child support.

A Financial Early Neutral Evaluation is a voluntary process that seeks to resolve and reduce the length and expense of prolonged court proceedings. These evaluations are similar to medication because it is an alternative form of divorce compared the typically hiring an attorney and going into litigation. These are sometimes preferred because they are non-binding and voluntary.
The biggest difference between mediation and a FENE is that with mediation, the mediator will attempt to have the parties reach a solution, without giving an evaluation of their case. When you choose to take the route of an evaluation, you take a quick evaluation and based on limited arguments and facts from both parties you make a goal to reach a resolution surrounding your financial issues.
