Divorce During Covid-19
2020 has been a year like no other. Our country has faced the first pandemic in nearly 100 years, and we have experienced many changes in just a few short months. Social distancing is now recommended, many businesses have closed their doors, people are working remotely and wearing masks, and schools are closed all in an effort to keep people safe. COVID-19 has changed our daily life. However, despite the need to prevent spread of the disease, there are things in our lives that still need to move forward. For couples who made the very difficult decision to divorce and are ready to navigate the process, Johnson Mediation can help.
The last several months have been an unprecedented time for all of us. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to alter our work schedules, our social interactions, school for our children and our shopping habits. For health care providers, this is an extremely stressful time of caring for those who have become sick and worrying that you may bring it home to your family. Many others are facing stress of a different kind as unemployment numbers skyrocket. Our family dynamics are also under stress. Families who share custody of their children have had to adapt to this new normal as well.
Divorce can be an incredibly stressful experience for all involved, including your children. Most couples who decide to divorce care very deeply about minimizing the impact of their decision on the children, but it can still be difficult to achieve. As parents get emotional they say and or do things that later on the regret. Johnson Mediation can offer your family important support and guidance during and after divorce to help you navigate these issues with your children. Here are some of the most common effects of divorce on children and how to handle them
Nothing is more important than the welfare of your family. If you are navigating a divorce, you want to enlist the assistance of professionals who are capable, knowledgeable and highly experienced. After all, divorce is one of those major life events that likely only happens once in your life.

Jeff Johnson of Johnson Mediation is an experienced mediation expert in the South Metro area and can guide you through the divorce process from start to finish.
Johnson Mediation understands that divorce ends a marriage, but it may not end the conflict that led to your divorce in the first place. It is for that reason that we offer mediation help after your divorce. We are ideally located as a resource for families who live in the Southern Twin Cities suburbs. Our team is extremely proud of the positive local reputation we have earned as exceptional mediators with a deep understanding of Minnesota divorce law. When issues arise between you and your former spouse after divorce, we can provide the mediation assistance you need. There are many benefits of working with Johnson Mediation after your divorce. We tell our clients that while it might be common to believe that finalizing your divorce means that all conflicts have been resolved, divorce is just the beginning of a new phase of your relationship. In fact, the relief that often comes with finalizing a divorce can lead us into a false sense of security, which can be quickly disrupted when a new conflict arises because of a normal life change.
