Divorce mediation is becoming more widely recognized as the preferred means of settling the terms of a divorce, and it is fair to say that couples who go through divorce mediation experience fewer conflicts and less intense conflict. Mediation reduces the level of overall conflict between parties – that is one of the many benefits of using this tool. AMS Mediation offers trusted mediation services for those going through divorce
Families come in all shapes and sizes. Some couples choose to marry and have children, other couples decide never to tie the knot. The team at AMS Mediation respects and supports all families, whether there is a marriage license or not. We offer custody mediation to non-married parents who have decided to separate and are trying to navigate the challenging issue of how to share custody of your kids. The pandemic we are going through is not helping with the exception of using Zoom
If you are in a committed relationship and share kids, you are co-parenting every day. However, this co-parenting relationship can change dramatically if you decide to separate or divorce. One of the most important tenets of co-parenting is effective communication. Strong communication is important but is also extremely difficult, especially as you navigate a divorce. AMS Mediation offers communication coaching
The majority of parents whose marriages end in divorce are people who love their children more than anything. The nature of marital conflict, however, can result in parents expressing their love for their children in ways that provoke disagreement. It is entirely possible for both parents to believe that they love their children perfectly, while also believing that their divorcing spouse’s love for their children is all wrong
When parents decide to part ways, one of the most challenging aspects of divorce is often determining child custody arrangements. AMS Mediation, located in Minnesota, offers a compassionate and effective approach to resolving custody disputes through mediation.
Divorce can bring about intense emotions
Divorce is the end of your marriage and just the beginning of a new phase of your relationship if you have children. This may not be what you want to hear, but the sooner you come to terms with this fact, the better off you and your children will be. Working with a mediator can help you resolve issues that come up after the terms of your divorce are final without having to go through the court system. The court is simply not set up
