A Parenting Time Expeditor may be appointed by the Court or requested by either party to resolve parenting time disputes. This is done while a parenting time matter is pending or under a decree. The term “parenting time” is often referred to as “visitation”. In the role as a Minnesota Court approved Parenting Time Expeditor, Johnson Mediation can resolve visitation disagreements between Eden Prairie, MN parents who are divorcing or have already divorced.  The neutral expeditor can use a mediation or arbitration process to address a specific or ongoing dispute matter.

Purpose Of Parenting Time Expeditor

The Parenting Time Expeditor process was begun by the Minnesota Court system under the family dispute arena. An appointed parenting time expeditor attempts to resolve disputes through negotiations between the parties. If a settlement cannot be reached, the parenting time expeditor can make a decision to resolve the dispute. This is a binding decision unless changed by the Court.
