I came to Heartland Family Mediators lost and frustrated with my relationship with my son’s mother.  We agree on nothing and I saw no light at the end of the tunnel.  I felt like there was no way for us to come to any agreement and that I would wind up spending thousands of dollars on a lawyer and many hours dealing with the court system to try and resolve our conflicts.  A brief phone call prior to our visit was followed up by a couple-hour in-person visit with myself, my son’s mother, and Jim Johnson.  Jim was very professional and allowed both of us to voice our concerns one at a time.  Jim was very neutral and brought common sense to both sides of our arguments and helped us realize that we will always have one thing in common, the interests of our son.  After coming to agreements on child support delegations and parenting time, we met one last time briefly to wrap up our agreement and finalize everything.  Things have been much better since our meeting with Jim over two years ago.  I will always recommend Jim to anyone who is having family problems, whether it be marriage or child support and custody issues.
