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.

Divorce can be extremely costly and a lot of times, that fact alone creates tension and a prolonged process. When you and your partner have came to the point in your relationship and have decided it is best to part ways, it is important to understand your options. As many people think that hiring an attorney and going into litigation is the only option, this is in fact not and is also the more costly option.
According to national statistical averages, the average cost of divorce when hiring a lawyer and going to litigation is $30,000 compared to $5000 when you choose to settle your divorce through mediation instead.

Divorce may end a marriage, but it does not necessarily end a relationship. Parents with children will have to communicate with each other after divorcing, especially if there is a child-support agreement in place. On occasion, child-support agreements require attention or alteration after divorce. If you are in such a situation, you should strongly consider contacting Johnson Mediation for assistance through this process. And, even if the issue you have does not involve changing an agreement, but is instead about a differing interpretation of the child-support agreement, mediation can be an ideal way to resolve misunderstandings and miscommunication.
