Just Solutions is a fee-based mediation service that specializes in family mediation. Mediation can help bring dissolution actions to a more cooperative, quicker conclusion. More importantly, mediation often makes dissolutions less traumatic for children. Parents who are able to agree on custody arrangements and a visitation schedule generally are able to make joint decisions regarding the welfare of their children better than parents who struggle with these arrangements. This cooperation reduces the stresses that children feel.
The cost of mediation will be $150.00 per person for 3 hours of mediation and includes the writing of any agreement that is reached during the sessions. Additional time will be billed at $50.00 per hour per person. Evening and weekend hours will be available and travel that meets the needs of clients is also available. A flat rate will be established for travel and divided equally between the parties.
Just Solutions also offers the Children in the Middle classes. The classes will be offered on select Saturdays each month. The cost will be $20.

Experience
Jon Wagner has over 12 years of mediating experience with more than 200 hours of training. He has worked in the social work field for over 20 years and currently offers a Mediation Certification training program through Indian Hills Community College.
He approaches mediation in a non-directive, non-agreement driven fashion. With this approach, agreements are reached through a process of discussing a wide range of issues, including feelings. Agreements reached in this way are more likely to last and the participants are better able to go on with their lives. Children certainly benefit from this approach.
