Shielding your kids from the intensity and difficulty of divorce is a critical part of the process. This is no small task, but reminding yourself every step of the way that your kids are the priority can go a long way in helping you achieve this goal. You can also work with professionals who can help you with strategies for improved communication, developing schedules that put your kids first and protecting your kids from conflict. AMS Mediation offers many different support services for parents just like you who are hoping to navigate the divorce process without excess stress on the shoulders of your children. We can help.
Divorce mediation: Divorce mediation allows you to settle the terms of your divorce without having to go through the traditional court process. You can make decisions about how to divide the time your kids spend with you and your ex on your own terms, rather than leaving these major life decisions to a judge. Mediation can be successful even if you and your ex have a lot of conflict between the two of you.
Divorce coaching: When you hire a divorce coach, you will get personalized support during the divorce process. If you have specific concerns about how the process will impact your kids, you can spend time talking to your coach about this and developing strategies to minimize the impact on your children. Divorce coaching can focus on anything that you need it to and very often helps parents navigate divorce while keeping their kids the top priority.
Parenting consultant: A parenting consultant can be appointed to you by the court to help you come to decisions about parenting time schedules, trades, holidays, vacation schedules, healthcare decisions, extra-curricular activities and parent-child or parent-parent communication. A parenting consultant can make decisions in your case and impose consequences if one party does not comply. This is a highly effective tool for families who are struggling with co-parenting and want to stay out of court.
Parenting time expeditor: A parenting time expeditor is also appointed by the court and can make legally binding decisions about issues related to conflict around parenting time. A parenting time expeditor is often less expensive than going through the court and can resolve the conflict much more quickly.
