Making decisions about child custody can be difficult. A court will look at many factors when deciding how a child spends his/her time. These factors include the child’s preference (if old enough to communicate it), the quality of the relationship between each parent, the mental and physical health of each parent and work obligations for the parents.
When it becomes clear that your marriage is not going to make it, it is natural to experience an extreme and emotional response. You may feel depressed, intense sadness, or be so overcome by a sense of loss that you express anger in ways that you never have before. For many people, the ideal of marriage becomes an extraordinarily heavy weight to carry when they realize that divorce is inevitable. AMS Mediation specializes in Divorce Mediation in Dakota County, MN, and offers an alternative to stressful and expensive divorce, which can offer a way out from the extreme emotions that you may be experiencing.
Above all else, people who are going through divorce want to know that their divorce mediator is qualified, professional and competent. But it is also important that their divorce mediator be accessible and easy to communicate with. Amber Serwat of AMS Mediation has established a reputation as a Dakota County Divorce Mediator who is an expert in Minnesota divorce law and helps divorcing couples navigate one of the most stressful experiences in life. AMS Mediation is conveniently located in Burnsville, MN, which makes the process of finalizing your divorce simpler.
Divorce is difficult enough without having to worry about the potential financial impact. The fact is that a divorce settled in the court system can cost you well over $10,000, particularly when you factor in attorney fees. This can make an already stressful situation even worse. Mediation has become a way for couples to settle their divorce without the same financial impact. Amber Serwat of AMS Mediation offers a wide range of affordable divorce mediation services for those in Dakota County, MN, that can help couples move forward with their lives in a positive way – without an unbearable financial burden.
At the heart of most divorces is conflict. You and your divorcing spouse may have experienced this conflict for years, perhaps about money, issues of trust, different parenting styles or commitment to work. AMS believes in dispute resolution with mediation. If you have determined that it is time to divorce so that you can both move forward with your life in a more positive way, you may assume that there is much more conflict ahead. Divorce mediation is a highly effective way to settle all types of divorce disputes in a relatively fast and cost effective way. AMS Mediation has helped many divorcing couples navigate the divorce process in a more positive and productive way.
If you and your spouse have decided that you are going to move forward with a mediated divorce, one of the first and most important steps to take is choosing a mediator to work with. The role of a mediator is to be a neutral, third party and help facilitate discussions that can result in compromise and solutions for the many aspects of your divorce. It is important that both you and your divorcing spouse trust the mediator you choose and feel comfortable communicating with them.
