Parenting Help During and After a Divorce
Every member of your family is impacted by a divorce. Divorce brings with it many changes that can be difficult, especially for your children. The way that you parent during this transition is one very important way that you can set your kids up to move forward in a positive and healthy way. This can be challenging, especially if you and your divorcing spouse have a relationship with high conflict. Your kids deserve the best from both of you and Johnson Mediation offers parenting support services to help you navigate this difficult experience.
Child support is one of the most important components of divorce mediation. Unfortunately, the conclusion of a divorce process—whether litigated through the court system or handled through divorce mediation—does not always mean that all problems with child support will go away. If you need to make an adjustment to your child-support agreement, you will need to file a motion in order to finalize the adjustment, and Johnson Mediation can help you. This motion will need to be filed in the court that issued the initial child support agreement. The forms associated with adjustments to child support agreements can be complex and confusing, but we have the experience and expertise to help you. If you need to lower your payments or request that your former spouse increase payment, it is best to have the support of a divorce mediator who has the experience to do it correctly, the first time.
Spousal support (also called alimony) is one of the most important issues to settle during a divorce. It is not awarded in all divorce cases – it is used when one spouse cannot meet his/her needs without financial assistance. It is not a punishment but the court recognizes that there are instances in which one spouse is financially dependent on the other at the time of the divorce. This financial inequity or earning discrepancy means that the spouse that is less well-off is entitled to receive financial support to help him/her establish their life after the divorce. Johnson Mediation specializes in helping couples find ways to solve issues related to their divorce. If you live in Minnesota, our team can help you navigate the process of determining whether spousal support is necessary in your case, without a long and expensive court battle.

Usually, it is hard to picture your life without someone after you have spent so long coexisting together. Many couples have finances together, and you may also have children. When it comes to separation, usually people have a hard time moving on and that is why Johnson Mediation provide divorce support after the divorce.
