When you go through a divorce, it is normal to experience a flood of emotions. You may feel a range of emotions including sadness, anger, frustration, denial, and even grief. You should know that this is a perfectly normal part of the divorce process. In fact, for many, you go through a grieving process somewhat similar to the loss of a loved one. Finding a way to manage these emotions during divorce can be a critical step in healing
Co-parenting during and after divorce is easily one of the most difficult parts of the process. After all, divorce generally means that you will see your kids less than when you were a family unit and that is difficult for everyone. Difficulty managing a parenting time agreement is a very common conflict between a former couple that shares children. AMS Mediation offers parenting support services like a Parenting Time Expeditor, to help your family navigate these challenges. A parenting time expeditor (PTE) is appointed by the courts and can make legally binding decisions about parenting time schedules, potential trades, vacation time, special events
Co-parenting after your divorce is final can be challenging. After all, you likely had very good reasons for deciding to divorce your partner, so you may wish that you did not have to continue regular contact and communication. However, co-parenting is a new phase of your relationship, and it is extremely important – especially for your children – to find ways to communicate in a positive and healthy way.
If you are going through a divorce and having difficulty resolving issues surrounding your children and/or parenting, then you may benefit from a parenting support service offered by the team at AMS Mediation. You may not be able to agree with your spouse about much at all and find that compromise is simply not in the cards. Since you cannot possibly take each and every disagreement or conflict to a judge, Minnesota offers several key resources that can help families navigate these difficult issues.
When you are going through a divorce and have children, it is difficult to think about anything but the wellbeing of your kids. Divorce is stressful for all involved, but is particularly stressful for the kids, who do not have decision-making power and are on the receiving end of so much change as a result of the decision to divorce. If you are a parent navigating divorce and are looking for resources for your family, the team at AMS Mediation can help. In addition to our divorce mediation services which can help you settle the terms of your divorce more quickly with less conflict and financial burden, we also offer a wide variety of parenting support services that can help you help your kids through this process.
If you have been told by the court system, an attorney, or someone else helping you navigate divorce that you should use an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) method to help settle the terms of your separation or divorce, you may wonder what options are available to you. An alternative dispute resolution is a method of settling disputes like custody and other divorce issues without going through the traditional court system. One very effective alternative dispute resolution method is mediation. AMS Mediation specializes in helping couples and families settle the terms of their divorce without litigation.
