Many divorcing couples are concerned that mediation may not work. They are fearful that their situation may be too difficult or they may not know a lot about mediation. Although some couples are able to be fairly respectful of one another and work together in divorce mediation, this does not mean you should compare yourself to them. More than most, divorces are not this smooth. Due to things that have happened in the past, complex emotions arise and make it extremely difficult to negotiate with one another. If you are experiencing the troubles of not being able to negotiate it will be very beneficial for the two of you to go to a mediator in order to delegate.

Divorce can be extremely costly and a lot of times, that fact alone creates tension and a prolonged process. When you and your partner have came to the point in your relationship and have decided it is best to part ways, it is important to understand your options. As many people think that hiring an attorney and going into litigation is the only option, this is in fact not and is also the more costly option.
According to national statistical averages, the average cost of divorce when hiring a lawyer and going to litigation is $30,000 compared to $5000 when you choose to settle your divorce through mediation instead.

A family law mediator is a neutral party that is specially trained to help couples resolve the issues in their divorce. Mediators facilitate the communication between the parties by making sure each party is given an uninterrupted time to speak, and the lines of communication stay open. Furthermore, the mediator also provides information about the legal system, how issues may be viewed by lawyers or judges, and what alternatives there are for solving issues.

Child support can be one of the most divisive and difficult aspects of a divorce to settle. Both parties often have very strong opinions about how much should be paid. The law requires that both parents, no matter whether they are married or not, must support their children financially. Child support can be settled in the courts when each party is represented by a lawyer, or through the mediation process, depending on the unique circumstances of the case. Johnson Mediation specializes in helping divorcing couples come up with a fair and reasonable child support agreement without having to go through the court system. Mediation can help even couples with high conflict solve important issues like child support, division of property and even custody arrangements without a court battle.

Divorce may end a marriage, but it does not necessarily end a relationship. Parents with children will have to communicate with each other after divorcing, especially if there is a child-support agreement in place. On occasion, child-support agreements require attention or alteration after divorce. If you are in such a situation, you should strongly consider contacting Johnson Mediation for assistance through this process. And, even if the issue you have does not involve changing an agreement, but is instead about a differing interpretation of the child-support agreement, mediation can be an ideal way to resolve misunderstandings and miscommunication.
