One of the most common questions we are asked at AMS Mediation is whether or not divorce mediation can be successful for a divorce that is complex, high in conflict and/or emotion, or just simply difficult. Most people assume that complicated divorces are destined for a court battle. However, divorce mediation is actually highly effective and even recommended by the courts BEFORE you attempt to resolve your divorce
Divorce mediation has been around for many years, but in recent years, a trend toward providing a personalized and customized approach has become an important part of the process. Timelines that are tailored to the needs of your family, mediation sessions that can be virtual and are scheduled at times that work well for you and your ex are just a few ways that this personalized approach can be put into action. AMS Mediation is a leader in offering highly efficient divorce mediation services to clients all over Minnesota
If you have decided to divorce, your next decision to make is how you want to settle the terms of your divorce.

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 and your spouse cannot decide how best to settle the terms of your divorce, the court may recommend that you work with a court approved divorce mediator rather than continue through the courts for resolution. Ultimately, this can be a huge benefit to you and your case, as mediation is a highly effective way to settle your divorce more quickly and with less financial strain than traditional litigation.
