Divorce Mediator Victoria, MN
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.
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.
When you and your spouse got married, likely the last thing on your mind is how you might split your assets, property and time spent with your children if you decide to divorce. You likely lived the majority of your married life with little regard for what belonged to whom. But once you and your partner decide that going your separate ways is the best path forward, your attention suddenly turns to dividing all aspects of your intertwined life together. This is extremely difficult for all involved and it becomes very easy to be concerned about whether what you are agreeing to in the divorce settlement is fair. The team at Johnson Mediation can help you navigate the divorce process and ensure that the settlement you reach is fair, consistent and benefits all involved.
Any separation is difficult, but when there’s a child involved and you’re unmarried, it can be particularly stressful and challenging to begin separating from your partner.
