Ongoing Support: Post-Divorce Services for a Smooth Transition

More than 90% of divorces are settled out of court through mediation or negotiation.

At Neutral Mediation, we understand that the divorce process doesn't end with the finalization of the divorce agreement. Life after divorce can bring new challenges and require adjustments as circumstances evolve. Our Ongoing Support services provide continued assistance to ensure that both parties can navigate post-divorce changes smoothly, with minimal conflict and maximum clarity.

The Importance of Ongoing Support

After a divorce is finalized, many couples find that they need help with adjusting their agreements as their circumstances evolve. Whether it's revising child support, updating a parenting plan, or addressing changes in spousal support, ongoing support is essential for ensuring that both parties are able to move forward with their lives.

Our post-divorce support services are designed to help you manage these changes and create new agreements that are fair, balanced, and in the best interest of all involved, especially children. Divorce can be a life-altering event, and our goal is to ensure that you and your family continue to thrive post-divorce.

What Our Ongoing Support Services Include

Our comprehensive support is available both during and after your divorce, and can be tailored to your specific needs. Below are some of the key services we offer:

• Child Support Revision: As life circumstances change, child support obligations may need to be adjusted. We help you revise child support arrangements based on changes in income, custody arrangements, or the needs of your children.
• Parenting Plan Updates: Parenting plans may need to be updated over time to reflect changes in your children's needs or schedules. Whether it is adjusting visitation schedules or addressing relocation concerns, we work with both parties to develop solutions that prioritize the best interest of the children.
• Spousal Support Adjustments: Spousal support (alimony) may need to be modified due to a change in financial circumstances or other factors. We assist in revising spousal support agreements to ensure that they remain fair and in line with the new realities of both parties.
• Modification of Divorce Terms: Life after divorce can lead to unforeseen circumstances. We can help you modify divorce agreements regarding asset division, custody arrangements, and other terms to reflect changes in either party's life.
• Co-Parenting Coaching: Successful co-parenting requires communication and cooperation. We provide coaching services to help parents effectively communicate and work together for the well-being of their children.

Why Ongoing Support Matters

While the divorce process can be emotionally and financially taxing, it is not a one-time event. Once the divorce is finalized, life continues to evolve. Without proper support, individuals can find themselves in difficult situations where modifications to agreements are needed. Here is why ongoing support is crucial:

• Ensures Compliance: Modifications to child support, custody, or spousal support agreements help ensure that both parties are compliant with the updated terms, reducing the risk of disputes or confusion.
• Adjusts for Life Changes: Changes in life circumstances such as job loss, a new job, remarriage, or the children growing older may require adjustments to the divorce terms. Ongoing support helps ensure that the agreements remain relevant and fair.
• Reduces Conflict: Changes in divorce agreements can lead to conflict. Having neutral mediation support to guide the process helps both parties reach an amicable agreement without escalating tensions.
• Focus on Children: The children's well-being remains at the heart of the matter even after divorce. Ongoing support helps ensure that their needs are met and that both parents are working together in the best interest of the children.
• Facilitates Smooth Transitions: Changes post-divorce are inevitable, but having support during these times allows for smoother transitions and less stress for all involved.

How Our Ongoing Support Services Work

We take a collaborative approach to post-divorce support, working with both parties to find practical solutions for any necessary modifications. Here is how the process typically works:

1. Initial Consultation: During the consultation, we will review the current agreements and discuss any changes or concerns you may have. This is an opportunity to explain your goals for modifying the existing arrangements.
2. Discussion and Mediation: Through open and respectful communication, we will help facilitate a discussion between both parties to identify potential solutions. Our mediation services ensure that both sides have a voice and are involved in the decision-making process.
3. Drafting Updated Agreements: Once the changes have been agreed upon, we help draft the revised agreements, which clearly outline the new terms and conditions. This ensures clarity and avoids confusion in the future.
4. Legal Review and Filing (if needed): If necessary, we can help you review the updated agreements with legal professionals to ensure they are legally enforceable. We can also guide you through the process of filing modifications with the court, if applicable.

Benefits of Ongoing Support

Our ongoing support provides a variety of benefits to both parties involved in the divorce. These benefits include:

• Cost-Effective: Ongoing support through mediation and coaching is typically much more affordable than hiring attorneys or going to court to resolve post-divorce issues.
• Peace of Mind: Having a neutral mediator to help facilitate changes ensures that you can move forward without worry, knowing that the process is being handled fairly and professionally.
• Continued Cooperation: Our support fosters cooperation and communication between both parties, ensuring that both individuals remain involved and committed to creating fair and lasting post-divorce agreements.
• Personalized Solutions: We provide individualized support that considers the unique needs and circumstances of both parties, ensuring that the changes to your agreements are practical and fair.
• Focus on the Future: With the right support, you can focus on your future and the well-being of your family without being bogged down by unresolved issues or lingering conflicts from the past.
