Wouldn’t it be nice if all divorces went so smoothly that you just signed a few papers, and you moved on with your life living separately? Take away the expenses, stress, division of property, debt, and the affect it has on children, and going through a divorce wouldn’t be so bad. Wishful thinking. Unfortunately, for most people, a divorce may be one of the toughest times a family has to go through. Especially for those high conflict divorces, tackling the next phase of your life on your own may not be in your best interest. Instead, if you live in Minnesota, consider utilizing AMS Mediation to help keep your children’s best interests in mind through resources such as a parenting plan as well as parenting coaching.
Issues With High Conflict Divorces
- Selfishness – Instead of trying to calmly work through disagreements and differences, individuals involved in a high conflict divorce tend to argue with their ex-spouse any chance they get.
- Weighs on Children – A high stress environment surrounded by anger makes it extremely difficult for a child to come to grips with their parents divorce. This can harm children socially and mentally as this traumatic time of their life can bring on depression, addiction, and sleeplessness.
