A Neutral Approach to Divorce and Family Mediation
Find a Path Forward That Puts Your Family First
A Confidential, Voluntary Process to Help You Move Forward
When facing divorce or family-related disagreements, having a structured way to communicate can help you explore solutions and make informed decisions. Kate Johnson provides divorce and family mediation in Buffalo, NY, offering a neutral setting where both parties can discuss concerns, identify disputed issues, and work toward mutually acceptable resolutions.
As a mediator, Kate does not represent either party, take sides, or make decisions on your behalf. Her role is to facilitate productive conversations, help clarify areas of agreement and disagreement, and guide discussions as you explore possible solutions. All decisions remain in your hands.
Mediation That Respects Your Choices
Mediation is voluntary. You are not required to accept a proposal or reach an agreement, and either party may request a break or end the process at any time. Both parties are encouraged to participate in good faith, communicate respectfully, and consider possible resolutions.
A Confidential Space for Important Conversations
Mediation is intended to provide a confidential environment where both parties can discuss sensitive family, parenting, and financial matters. Communications are treated as confidential to the extent permitted by applicable law, with certain exceptions where disclosure is authorized or legally required.
Work Toward a Memorandum of Understanding
Mediation may address issues related to separation and divorce, parenting schedules, child support, and legal or physical custody. When the parties reach agreement on issues discussed in mediation, those understandings can be documented in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
The MOU summarizes the terms the parties have discussed and agreed upon through mediation. It is not a substitute for a final divorce agreement or independent legal advice. Each party is encouraged to consult their own attorney or other appropriate professional before signing final legal documents.
For financial matters, meaningful mediation depends on both parties sharing complete and accurate information relevant to the issues being discussed. This may include income, assets, debts, expenses, and retirement or bank accounts. The mediator does not independently audit or verify financial disclosures, so each party is responsible for reviewing the information and seeking additional details or professional guidance as needed.

Testimonials
What Our Clients Say
"When going through a divorce it's already hard enough. Between the emotional and financial stress it's extremely difficult to manage all at once. When I found Kate Johnson it was the best day of my life. Kate was so quick to respond and set up a meeting. The day that I met with her I bought my mom as emotional support. By the time everything was done my mom and I left there in absolute tears because it was such a relief finding Kate.
Not only was she very responsive and supportive in so many ways she was sure to get everything together in a very quick and professional way. My meeting was on March 3rd and I was officially divorced on March 22. Everyone could not believe how quick and painless it was for me. Kate understands that this is an extremely difficult time in people's life that she is so fair in price and went at my own pace.
When I say Kate saved my life I mean it. Without her I would still be in a very toxic situation. I will forever be grateful for her. If I am to ever need a lawyer again she will be the first person I call."
