Serving The Community for more thAn a decade
Heartland Family Mediators traces its roots to 2007 when Jim Johnson began offering divorce-related economic planning services to couples in Central Indiana. Since then, Heartland Family Mediators has grown into an organization committed to children and focused on achieving peace for families managing the economic and emotional complexities of divorce. In 2011, the name Heartland Family Mediators was formally adopted. We operate today as a limited liability company in Indiana.
What Do We Do?
peace in their lives following divorce. We accomplish our mission first by helping couples navigate the
challenges of divorce peacefully. Our method, referred to as pro se divorce, generally means the couple
is acting for themselves and not relying on attorneys. The environment in the pro se setting is far less
contentious than that of the litigation model and its nature engenders cooperation when crafting
agreements, dividing property and it frequently contributes a generosity in the financial settlement. This
cooperation contributes to peace.
Our process is family centered and child focused. If there are children, we focus unapologetically on the
interests of the children. All parents love their children. If their divorce focuses on the interests of their
children, parents will know their greatest desires and hopes will have been realized: Adult children who
are emotionally stable, spiritually grounded, and who possess a capacity to have fulfilling relationships
with other people. That realization for parents contributes very positively to peace.
We at Heartland Family Mediators see ourselves as peacemakers.
