I absolutely recommend Ryan and Flannel People Mediation. He was excellent all the way through. The communication from the first call was prompt and easy going. I feel so lucky to have found Flannel People for divorce mediation.
I was a ball of nerves before our virtual mediation session. Ryan's calmness, casual approach, insights, observations, and cohesiveness throughout the session helped us get through a lot of very difficult topics to the point of an agreement.
The nerves quickly went away with Ryan's presence, he provided a safe environment for my wife and I to talk through all the details. Never felt rushed, and appreciated the short breaks after each hour during the session. Was great to walk away for a bit.
I could tell he truly cared for us both as a neutral party to accomplish our objectives and feel good about the outcome. For anyone going through the process of divorce my heart goes out to you both. Ryan's approach is something special for such a stressful, difficult time in anyone's lives.
Here's What Happens in Your 3-Hour Mediation Session
Most people have never been to mediation. So here's exactly what we do:
min
First 90 Minutes: Understanding Where You're At
- •Each person gets uninterrupted time to explain their situation and what they need
- •I listen for points of agreement (there are always more than you think)
- •We identify what's actually contested vs. what you've already mentally agreed on
- •You'll be surprised how much you already agree on once someone helps you see it
min
Next 60 Minutes: Working Through the Hard Stuff
- •Custody schedule that works for your lives
- •Child support discussion
- •Discussion of assets and debts
- •Spousal maintenance if relevant
- •I use structured mediation protocols to keep the conversation productive, even when it gets emotional
min
Final 30 Minutes: Wrapping Up
- •You write down everything you've decided
- •You review it together to make sure it's right
- •You both leave with your agreement in hand
- •Next step: you file with the court (on your own or with an attorney's help)
Then What?
- →
You submit your paperwork to the court (yourself or through an attorney)
- →
Processing time varies depending on the county
- →
Court appearance potentially needed (in some counties)
- ✓
Your divorce is finalized
The decisions you reach in mediation become your roadmap for completing the divorce. After mediation, you handle the court filing yourself or hire an attorney to do it for you. Mediation is one path couples use to reach agreements in the Minnesota divorce process.
WHY THIS WORKS
I've Mediated 80+ Divorces in the Last 2 Years. Here's What I Know.
Most couples reach a full agreement in one session.
Not because their divorces are "simple" or "easy" or "uncontested." Some have complicated custody situations. Some have businesses to divide. Some can barely stand to be in the same Zoom room.
They finish in one session because the process works.
What makes mediation work:
Speed: One 3-hour session instead of a months-long process
Cost: $795 each
Privacy: Private conversation from home instead of public court proceedings
Control: You make all the decisions together
Outcome: An agreement you both create, not one imposed by a court
