Johnson Mediation is an excellent starting point for you if you are in the midst of a conflict. For many people, this translates to being in the late stages of a primary relationship, which often leads to the decision to seek a divorce. The traditional approach to divorce—through the court system—is becoming less and less appealing to many people. The court system is busy; the court system tends to be expensive; and the court system has to focus less on the best possible outcomes for people who are there to finalize their divorces. And that’s where meditation can be particularly useful.

As tax time approaches, it is a great time to be thinking about any changes to your tax status that could impact your annual return. Changes in marital status, as well as child support payments or spousal maintenance have important tax implications. Spousal maintenance is the money paid from one spouse to another after a separation or divorce in an attempt to help the party that earns less maintain the same standard of living. These payments are considered alimony for tax purposes and must be reported by both the individual who made the payments as well as the individual who received the support.

When you begin the divorce process, it can be overwhelming trying to think of everything you’ll need to do, everything you’ll need to know to complete your divorce, and everything you’ll need to address with your partner before the divorce can be finalized. Separating is stressful and emotionally draining enough, regardless of how amicable your separation may be, but when you factor in the divorce process, you’re looking at weeks or months of difficult decisions and potentially huge conflicts as you begin to work through the specifics with your partner.
