Handling the many aspects of a divorce is extremely difficult and overwhelming for couples. In addition to offering divorce mediation services, Amber Serwat of AMS Mediation offers divorcing couples coaching in Burnsville, MN. Divorce coaching is different from divorce mediation in that the role of a divorce coach is to provide support and guidance for one party. A mediator remains neutral and helps a couple find common ground
We have heard a lot in the last few months about how the Covid-19 pandemic does not care about borders, religious and political affiliation, and most other categories that organize our society. This is true—the virus that has changed our world so dramatically in such a short time does not care about much other than spreading to a new carrier, whoever that may be. But the novel coronavirus is not the only force of nature
While no one wished for the COVID-19 pandemic to descend on our country and the world, it has. For now, we should all follow health guidelines and practice social distancing when possible and wear face coverings to protect ourselves and others from the spread of the disease. These changes have disrupted nearly every aspect of our lives, and many local businesses have been forced to adapt to meet the moment.
The Early Neutral Evaluation (ENE) process is an Alternative Dispute Resolution tool that offers a family information about both the strengths and weaknesses of their case and a projected outcome of a trial so that they can factor this information into their thinking as they decide how to proceed.

For most people who experience divorce, there are varying degrees of vulnerability associated with the experience. And vulnerability almost always leaves one feeling like they could benefit from the help and knowledge of others. Friends, family, co-workers, clergy members and professionals can all lend valuable support during this difficult time. Few experiences in life lead to a feeling of greater vulnerability than divorce
It has been a difficult and stressful time for all of us. The outbreak of COVID-19 has forced businesses and schools to close and our daily schedules to be literally turned upside down. For those families who share custody of their children, this uncertain time can be especially difficult. Custody agreements could not possibly take into account all of the issues related to COVID-19. If you find yourself struggling to navigate your custody agreement during COVID-19, AMS Mediation can help you. Our child custody mediation services can help you determine how best to adjust your current custody arrangement to account for changes related to COVID-19 that are specific to your family.
The safety of clients, ourselves, and colleagues is our top priority while we remain available to assist you as you navigate the new and uncharted territory caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
