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.

There are many reasons why a couple decides to divorce — disagreements over everything from money, to how to raise children, to job priorities can push a couple to decide that living separate lives is best. However, when one party contributes less financially, emotionally, and does not take an equitable share of child rearing responsibilities, it can present a unique and difficult problem during the marriage and for co-parenting after a divorce. These habits tend to continue and can become even more pronounced after a divorce, especially when it comes to taking care of the kids. If you are in a situation in which your ex-spouse is not paying his/her share of agreed upon child support payments or does not show up for scheduled visits, mediation may be able to help encourage your ex-spouse to step up where kids are concerned. Johnson Mediation has extensive experience working with parents after divorce and finding solutions for situations that may seem otherwise too difficult.
