A family law mediator is a neutral party that is specially trained to help couples resolve the issues in their divorce. Mediators facilitate the communication between the parties by making sure each party is given an uninterrupted time to speak, and the lines of communication stay open. Furthermore, the mediator also provides information about the legal system, how issues may be viewed by lawyers or judges, and what alternatives there are for solving issues.
One of the most emotionally taxing and complicated aspects of settling a divorce is agreeing on a child custody arrangement. The idea of seeing your child less than daily is an extremely difficult adjustment for most parents. If you (or the court) has decided that you will be proceeding with a joint custody arrangement with your ex-spouse, you may be wondering the best strategies for coordinating opposing schedules. Partnering with a professional mediator can help you come up with a joint custody schedule that will work for you, your ex-spouse and your children.
Divorce can be one of the most stressful and emotionally challenging experiences a person faces. For many Minnesota couples, the traditional court-based divorce process feels overwhelming, expensive, and unnecessarily adversarial. Divorce mediation offers an alternative approach that allows couples to resolve important issues in a more respectful, efficient, and cost-effective way. For those searching for divorce mediation in Minnesota, understanding how mediation works and why it is often recommended before litigation can help you make informed decisions about your future.
If you’re searching for a divorce mediator, you’re already on the path to a simple and amicable divorce. With divorce mediation, you can avoid the cost and conflict of a courtroom divorce, enjoying the benefits of working with someone who can help you and your soon-to-be-ex spouse come to a mutual divorce agreement that you both can agree to. However, when there are children involved in a divorce, the process automatically becomes more complicated, more heated, and more emotional for everyone involved
For many couples, your relationship does not end when you sign your divorce papers. If you are ready to move forward with your life, you may look to that moment as the end of your relationship, but it can be simply the beginning of a new phase of your relationship. No matter how you settled your divorce and how much conflict was between the two of you, post-divorce mediation can help you manage new issues that come up after your divorce is final. Johnson Mediation specializes in post-divorce mediation for those in the Chanhassen, Minnesota area.
