The state of Minnesota encourages most couples that are navigating a divorce to attempt mediation to settle important issues, rather than leaving these big issues to the court, or to a judge to decide. Avoiding a court battle can save you time and money, and saves the state resources as well. Mediation is a highly effective and efficient tool that can minimize overall conflict and settle a divorce quickly and lay a strong foundation for working together when needed post-divorce.

A divorce mediator’s job is to help facilitate resolution to any of a number of difficult issues in a neutral and impartial way. A mediator is a neutral third party who does not have any interest in choosing sides or favoring one party over the other. Instead, a mediator will sit down with both parties and help facilitate discussion that leads to compromise and solutions. That said, you or your divorcing spouse may have a preference of the gender of your mediator. Johnson Mediation is led by Jeff Johnson, who can provide a neutral male divorce mediator’s perspective. Jeff is a state qualified neutral mediator, social & financial early neutral evaluator, parenting time expediter, parenting consultant, parenting coach and a parenting class instructor. He has many years of experience working with couples to help them find solutions that work for their unique situation. Jeff can guide you through the entire mediation process.
