For now, we are all trying to limit or reduce our risk of exposure to COVID-19. AMS Mediation has translated all consultations and services to a virtual platform. We are still offering the same support and assistance, but because of concerns about safety, we are not currently offering these services in person. We have found that our services have remained extremely effective, meeting the unique needs of our clients during this difficult
If you have decided to divorce, your next decision to make is how you want to settle the terms of your divorce. The two primary options are a court battle or a form of alternative dispute resolution like mediation. One of the biggest differences in these two options is how long they take (and how much they cost!). Hiring lawyers and going through the traditional court system can take six to twelve months
If you have decided that the best path forward for your family is divorce, developing a strong and fair parenting plan can be one of the most significant challenges. Parents tend not to agree on how to divide time with their children, in large part because they love them so much and cannot envision life without seeing them every day. But, the harsh reality with divorce is that developing a custody agreement (also known as a parenting plan) is what needs to happen in order to move forward with your life. AMS Mediation understands how difficult this aspect of a divorce can be and has extensive experience creating workable parenting protocols to set limits, define boundaries and expectations so that a child custody agreement can be successful for a family.
For many couples, taking the first step toward divorce can be the most difficult. You question your decision and may not even know where to begin. The Minnesota court system requires couples who are seeking a divorce to use an alternative dispute resolution technique before proceeding with litigation, through the traditional court system. So, the first step for most couples is to find a mediator that you connect with that can help
If you and your spouse have recently made the very difficult decision to divorce, you may be very ready to begin to move forward with your life. Very often, the process of coming to terms with the end of your marriage can take months, if not years. Once you and your spouse decide you are ready to move forward with divorce, you may have already worked through many of the emotions associated with the loss and actually be ready for the changes ahead. The divorce process can be another hurdle to cross, but it does not have to extend the painful process. Mediation is the fastest way to get divorced in Minnesota and the team at AMS Mediation is ready to help you get started TODAY!
