There are many reasons why a couple decides to divorce — disagreements over everything from money, to how to raise children, to job priorities can push a couple to decide that living separate lives is best. However, when one party contributes less financially, emotionally, and does not take an equitable share of child rearing responsibilities, it can present a unique and difficult problem during the marriage and for co-parenting after a divorce. These habits tend to continue and can become even more pronounced after a divorce, especially when it comes to taking care of the kids. If you are in a situation in which your ex-spouse is not paying his/her share of agreed upon child support payments or does not show up for scheduled visits, mediation may be able to help encourage your ex-spouse to step up where kids are concerned. Johnson Mediation has extensive experience working with parents after divorce and finding solutions for situations that may seem otherwise too difficult.

A divorce mediator’s job is to help facilitate resolution to any of a number of difficult issues in a neutral and impartial way. A mediator is a neutral third party who does not have any interest in choosing sides or favoring one party over the other. Instead, a mediator will sit down with both parties and help facilitate discussion that leads to compromise and solutions. That said, you or your divorcing spouse may have a preference of the gender of your mediator. Johnson Mediation is led by Jeff Johnson, who can provide a neutral male divorce mediator’s perspective. Jeff is a state qualified neutral mediator, social & financial early neutral evaluator, parenting time expediter, parenting consultant, parenting coach and a parenting class instructor. He has many years of experience working with couples to help them find solutions that work for their unique situation. Jeff can guide you through the entire mediation process.
