Mediation Help After Your Divorce
Johnson Mediation understands that divorce ends a marriage, but it may not end the conflict that led to your divorce in the first place. It is for that reason that we offer mediation help after your divorce. We are ideally located as a resource for families who live in the Southern Twin Cities suburbs. Our team is extremely proud of the positive local reputation we have earned as exceptional mediators with a deep understanding of Minnesota divorce law. When issues arise between you and your former spouse after divorce, we can provide the mediation assistance you need. There are many benefits of working with Johnson Mediation after your divorce. We tell our clients that while it might be common to believe that finalizing your divorce means that all conflicts have been resolved, divorce is just the beginning of a new phase of your relationship. In fact, the relief that often comes with finalizing a divorce can lead us into a false sense of security, which can be quickly disrupted when a new conflict arises because of a normal life change.
If you are curious about the concept of parenting consulting and want to learn more about the process, Johnson Mediation can help. A Parenting Consultant (PC) works with families to help them navigate issues related to parenting time (also known as visitation), differences in parenting styles, approach to discipline, schedules, education as well as interests and activities of the child or children. It is important to understand that a parenting consultant does not address issues related to custody or finances. A parenting consultant can be chosen by a couple or the court, depending on the situation.
Whether it is your first holiday season after divorce, or your 10th, if you share children, the holidays can cause stress for the entire family. Juggling custody issues, family gatherings, school functions and other holiday stress can make the season extremely difficult to navigate. As this holiday season approaches, here are some strategies that can make co-parenting around the holidays a little easier.
Everyone reacts somewhat differently to a divorce situation. Divorced parents with minor children will most likely remain connected in some fashion as they work together to raise, nurture and care for he needs of each child. Post-divorce disagreements can escalate and cause harm to the children if each party is not willing or able to put aside resentments towards the ex-partner and put the needs of the child first. Johnson Mediation provides couples with helpful tools and support services to resolve parenting conflicts or emotional issues that may arise while moving on after divorce. Post-Divorce counseling services at Johnson Mediation are provided by a professional mediator with experience in grief recovery solutions and mediating changes to divorce agreements.
Co-parenting after a divorce is a huge adjustment for the entire family (parents and children). In fact, differing parenting styles may have contributed to the reasons you decided to divorce, so it makes sense that this new process of co-parenting from two different households can be a challenge (to say the least). It is important to remember, however, that you and your ex likely have the best interests of your children in mind, even if your approach is vastly different. Johnson Mediation offers highly effective co-parenting resources and support for families at every stage of the divorce process.
