Just because you and your partner did not legally get married does not mean that your separation is any less complicated, especially if you share children. As parents, you are the two most important people in your kid’s lives and finding common ground on custody issues is extremely important to your family’s future. AMS Mediation offers custody mediation for unmarried parents which is less expensive, less time consuming and emotionally difficult than a traditional court battle (litigation).
Why Choose Custody Mediation Over Litigation?
Amber Serwat with AMS Mediation can help you reach a custody agreement with your ex. This includes determining both legal and physical custody of the children, deciding on a plan for how to divide up parenting time fairly and determining child support payments. Custody mediation, which is considered an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) tool is ideal for resolving these types of issues. Instead of having your lawyers fight over what is best for your family, custody mediation empowers you and your former partner to resolve these issues yourselves. No one knows your children better than the two of you. Mediation allows you to use your love, your experience, and your knowledge to come up with a custody agreement that will work for you moving forward.
A mediated custody agreement also has a better chance of long-term success than an agreement that was determined by a judge in litigation. When you go through the process of mediation to determine how the custody will be divided, you will develop skills that will help you navigate future issues with your ex. Your custody settlement will not be the last time that you need to work with your ex for the benefit of your kids. Custody mediation can lay a positive foundation for future communication and give you a framework to work from.
