Child Support Mediator
The determination of child support payments as part of a divorce settlement can be complex and highly contentious. Each party may have a very different opinion about what is fair given your unique set of circumstances. Divorce mediation allows you and your divorcing spouse to navigate these issues like child support and child custody in an environment that fosters and supports a solution based discussion that can be positive and productive. Divorce mediation can be successful and effective for even the most complicated divorce settlements. Johnson Mediation of Chanhassen, MN specializes in divorce mediation and our team has experience specifically as a child support mediator.
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.
