One of the primary benefits of settling your divorce using mediation is that it lays the groundwork to make any additional necessary changes after your divorce is final. When you initially settle the important terms of your divorce such as how to equitably divide your property and how to structure your child custody agreement, you have no real way of knowing what the future holds.
If you have a divorce settlement in place with the courts but need to make changes after it has been finalized (months later or even years later), then you may want to consider the option of post-decree mediation. This process allows you to make changes or resolve issues that come up after a Court Order is put in place. It is simply impossible to anticipate every potential issue that may come up as you and your family move forward
When you think about a divorce, you may assume that once the terms are settled and the divorce is final, your interactions with your ex will be over. For the most part, that is the case. Divorce is the end of your marriage and that signals changes in your daily life, living situation and financial ties. However, your relationship with your ex may not disappear entirely when you sign those divorce papers. If you share children, you will quickly
Most people who go through the divorce process feel a sense of finality once the divorce papers have been finalized. Very often, the divorcing couple can feel secure in the finality of their divorce–they have crossed all the T’s and dotted all the I’s, and in the vast majority of cases, divorce mediation has helped them feel much better about their decision to part ways. There are times, however, when issues arise after the ink has dried
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.
How do you get through difficult times? Do you hold things in? Do you overshare with people you barely know? Do you count on one good friend? Do you confide in one or more family members? There is no single way of seeking help that is always helpful. Depending on your circumstances, some approaches will work better than others. If you are fortunate enough to have one or more people in your life in whom you can confide
