Parenting Help During and After a Divorce
Every member of your family is impacted by a divorce. Divorce brings with it many changes that can be difficult, especially for your children. The way that you parent during this transition is one very important way that you can set your kids up to move forward in a positive and healthy way. This can be challenging, especially if you and your divorcing spouse have a relationship with high conflict. Your kids deserve the best from both of you and Johnson Mediation offers parenting support services to help you navigate this difficult experience.
Just as is often the case when choosing a physician or dentist, some people connect better with a male mediator or a female mediator to resolve divorce issues. Divorce mediation has become more popular in recent years as a way to work through complex divorce issues without the conflict, time, stress and cost of traditional divorce litigation. For male preferred divorce mediation services, Jeff Johnson of Johnson Mediation is highly qualified as an experienced divorce mediator. Comprehensive divorce mediation services can assist with a wide range of issues that may come up during or after the divorce process. Your mediation sessions could cover topics including child support, division of assets, spousal support and parenting plans.
The benefits of choosing divorce mediation are becoming better known. Many divorcing couples seeking divorce and preferring to avoid the higher cost, lesser control, and greater adversarial nature of court-based processes. When divorcing couples partner with the team at Johnson Mediation, they typically find that the experience is far less difficult than they had anticipated. Keep in mind that Johnson Mediation does not contend that mediated divorce is free of pain—divorce is almost always difficult and painful, but Johnson Mediation can mitigate the impact of those things helping couples find common ground and a positive way forward.
Child support is one of the most important components of divorce mediation. Unfortunately, the conclusion of a divorce process—whether litigated through the court system or handled through divorce mediation—does not always mean that all problems with child support will go away. If you need to make an adjustment to your child-support agreement, you will need to file a motion in order to finalize the adjustment, and Johnson Mediation can help you. This motion will need to be filed in the court that issued the initial child support agreement. The forms associated with adjustments to child support agreements can be complex and confusing, but we have the experience and expertise to help you. If you need to lower your payments or request that your former spouse increase payment, it is best to have the support of a divorce mediator who has the experience to do it correctly, the first time.

Divorce is difficult for all involved – and when there are children involved this difficulty is compounded. Often, when custody issues cannot be resolved easily, a judge may decide to refer the case for what is called a Social Early Neutral Evaluation (SENE) process that is a confidential and relatively quick way to resolve the custody dispute. This process uses two professionals, generally one man and one woman. One of the professionals is a lawyer and the other a child specialist. Johnson Mediation offers comprehensive divorce mediation services and can complete a Social Early Neutral Evaluation when requested by the court system.
“How to divorce?” is unfortunately a common question. Although it can be a tough situation, litigation is not the only answer. Many people are unaware that mediation is not only an alternative, but statistics show that by a large margin, divorcing couples are greatly more satisfied compared to couples who decide to take their divorce directly to court.
