Experienced Divorce Mediator
Getting a divorce may seem like the hardest thing you’ve ever had to do. Knowing that it’s an entire legal process that can take you all the way through the court system can be a daunting idea, but rest assured the courts are not the only way to settle a divorce – and often not the best way. When you’re going through a divorce, whether you and your spouse are on good terms, bad terms, or indifferent, you can benefit from the help of a divorce mediator. At Johnson Mediation, our Chanhassen, MN divorce mediator specializes in helping divorcing couples understand the ins and outs of divorce, and we work through every single elements of a divorce until an agreement can be reached that’s legally fair to both parties.
Parenting is already hard enough. Add a divorce to the mix, and your job as a parent gets infinitely more difficult. For parents who have separated, you’re not only dealing with raising your child, you’re trying to figure out how to raise your child the way you want to. In any relationship, parents have different ideas about how to best raise a child, including what rules to set, how to discipline children, what hours children should keep, what activities children should participate in… the list goes on. If you and your former spouse are having a difficult time communicating, compromising, or overall doing what’s best for your child, you may need the help of a parenting consultant. At Johnson Mediation, our Chanhassen, MN parenting consultants are here to help make sure your divorce does not stop your child from flourishing.

When you are going through a divorce, it takes every ounce of your time, energy and focus. For many, it is difficult to think past the divorce and how you will interact with your spouse once the divorce is final. If you have kids together, while your marriage may end, a new phase of your relationship will begin — co-parenting. And, for all who have recently been through a divorce, you may also feel a sense of grief, loss and pain. All of these new feelings are a normal part of the process of moving on. Johnson Mediation can help you process all of the feelings and emotions after your marriage ends, and help you find a way to move forward after your divorce.
Many divorcing couples are concerned that mediation may not work. They are fearful that their situation may be too difficult or they may not know a lot about mediation. Although some couples are able to be fairly respectful of one another and work together in divorce mediation, this does not mean you should compare yourself to them. More than most, divorces are not this smooth. Due to things that have happened in the past, complex emotions arise and make it extremely difficult to negotiate with one another. If you are experiencing the troubles of not being able to negotiate it will be very beneficial for the two of you to go to a mediator in order to delegate.
