You love your children with all of your heart and when your relationship with your spouse changes and you decide to divorce, you are forced to come up with a parenting plan that divides the precious time you spend with them. This can be one of the most difficult transitions for a family and with high emotions and increased conflict. It can feel impossible to make decisions that put your children first. Mediation is ideally suited to help you with this.
Divorced parents are just as diverse as any other segment of people in our society. Some get along better after their divorce than they did when they were married. The conflict between others can intensify even after the final documents have been finalized. Most divorced couples occupy a space in between the extremes. No matter where you find yourself on the spectrum, however, you may have concerns about the visitation agreement that exists between you and your former spouse. Johnson Mediation provides expert help with Child Visitation Mediation in Chanhassen.
Do you want to know how to file for divorce in Minnesota? The state of Minnesota defines a divorce as a dissolution of marriage. This is the process by which important matters such as division of property (including debts and assets), child custody and financial support are resolved. You can choose to settle your divorce using an alternative dispute resolution process like mediation, or via the traditional court system (litigation). Johnson Mediation specializes in divorce mediation and can help with the process for filing for divorce, from start to finish.

The period of time leading up to a divorce can be very stressful and emotionally damaging for a couple. High conflict between you and your spouse for a long period of time can impact your overall sense of self, your confidence and uncertainty about the future can be overwhelming. When the two of you make the final decision that divorce is the best next step, it can be helpful to think about how you will settle your divorce, without adding more unnecessary stress, tension and conflict to the already difficult situation. Mediation allows you to settle your divorce without a lengthy, costly court battle.
Adjusting to how to be an effective parent after a divorce can be difficult. The period of time after a divorce is a transition for every member of your family – for both adults as well as the kids. A parenting consultant can help you and your ex-spouse co-parent in a way that is most healthy for your children. In general, a parenting consultant provides support for families as they make decisions about parenting time, discipline issues, parenting styles, navigating schedules, making decisions about education and extracurricular activities.
When you have a problem or a concern about something, you automatically look for a way to solve or fix it. We do this in our jobs, at home, while we drive, many different times a day. While it is certainly a large and even overwhelming issue, solving the issues that come up during a divorce can be treated in just the same way. Mediation allows you and your divorcing spouse (with the help of a neutral third party) to fairly and objectively make important decisions about the important aspects of your divorce.
Johnson Mediation has established a strong reputation for our divorce services in Chanhassen MN. Divorce mediation has become not only more popular in recent decades, but it is far more efficient than court-based divorce processes. Many couples who use mediation to settle their divorce find that they emerge from the dissolution of their marriages better prepared for life after marriage.
The impact of divorce on children is significant. In the midst of the divorce process, it can be difficult to keep your focus on the best interest of your children, given the intense emotional conflict between you and your spouse. A parenting consultant can help you with a wide variety of issues including resolving disagreements about the time the kids spend with each parent, major decisions about education, schedules, healthcare, differences in parenting styles and disciplinary approaches and other issues that are unique to your family.
Mediation is designed to solve problems without having to rely on the courts and a judge to make important decisions in your life. Mediation is a very commonly used Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process that empowers a couple to decide for themselves how to divide their joint property, split custody of their children and decide whether child support (or spousal support) is necessary. Minnesota courts now encourage all couples to try mediation before litigation – in large part because the courts cannot handle the volume of court cases on their schedule.
