Parenting Consulting
It is often said that parenting is one of the most challenging and rewarding jobs that anybody can have. Children do not come with a manual. If they did, there may be a thick chapter devoted to parenting after divorce. Spouses are often at their worst during the divorce process and may be unable to see how the upheaval, stress and tension is affecting the children. Parenting consulting is used to make sure that the best interest of the child is forefront in decisions. A parenting consultant may be chosen by the parents and appointed by the court.
Not all marriage vows end in happily ever after. The reality is that many marriages end in divorce. The way in which a couple decides to proceed through the divorce process can have a lasting impact on the family, including the children. Litigating dissolution of marriage inside of a courtroom is not the only option. Divorce mediation can lessen the discourse, cost and time it takes to reach a final resolution. Most Minnesota judges encourage couples to consider mediation as an alternative dispute resolution process. This allows individuals to take charge of their own divorce process and…

One of the most common reasons that a marriage does not work is related to poor (or lack of) communication. However, a divorce is not the end of the need to communicate for many couples, especially if they share children. Even if you have decided to divorce because of communication issues, it may be time to repair your relationship enough to be civil while you navigate your divorce so that your communication can be healthy after your divorce. Johnson Mediation offers divorce coaching that is specifically offered to improve interpersonal communication and to help you navigate the entire divorce process.
Are you and your spouse facing a divorce? Litigation, also known as a court battle, can be extremely expensive both financially and emotionally. Mediation is an excellent and even preferred alternative to litigation that can save you money, time and stress. A trained and experienced divorce mediator serves as a neutral third party and can help you and your divorcing spouse find solutions to the many difficult issues faced in a divorce settlement. A divorce mediator does not make decisions for you – you and your spouse are empowered to make these important decisions. A mediator helps by facilitating an open, positive and productive discussion that can yield solutions that work for all involved.
Divorce is an extremely difficult and stressful time for most individuals. It is even often listed as one of the top 5 most stressful life events. If you and your spouse have decided it is time for divorce, it may be a good opportunity to consider what type of support you need to get through this challenging time. One little known source of support during a divorce can be a divorce coach. Unlike a divorce attorney, a divorce coach does NOT offer legal advice. A divorce coach can be used in addition to or instead of a divorce lawyer and…
Going through a divorce is one of the most difficult and stressful major life events. After many years of marriage, suddenly living separately from your spouse can be a difficult adjustment, even if the divorce was the best decision for all involved. It is normal to feel a sense of significant grief and loss after divorce, and to need additional support from family, friends and even a professional. Johnson Mediation offers professional grief management & support to help you work through your grief and move forward in a healthy way.
The divorce process can be a complicated and difficult time for everyone in a family. It is a process that most of us only go through once in our lives (we hope!) so it is natural to have many questions about the process. Johnson Mediation specializes in providing divorce mediation services for those who are looking for an alternative to settling the terms of your divorce through the courts. Here are some common questions about the divorce mediation process that can help you decide if it is something that you want to pursue.
If you are contemplating a divorce, you may have been advised to consider mediation as a way to settle the important issues such as division of property, assets and debt, development of a parenting plan (or custody agreement) and even determination of appropriate child and/or spousal support. You may have heard that mediation is less expensive and takes less time than litigation, but you may still have questions about the process and how it works. Johnson Mediation specializes in offering professional divorce mediation services and can help you navigate the entire divorce process from start to finish. Read on for an overview of the important aspects of the mediation process.
Every couple who finds themselves in the process of divorce should pursue the best possible means of finalizing the divorce. At Johnson Mediation, we provide mediation services for divorcing couples. We believe that the evidence of the last several decades indicates that mediation is the single best means of finalizing a divorce for most couples. Infact, the court in Minnesota may require the two parents to agree to mediate any disputes regarding joint physical custody before bringing a custody dispute back to court. Before you determine that mediated divorce is the right choice for you, we want you to understand how the divorce mediation process works.
