Divorce is the end of your marriage and just the beginning of a new phase of your relationship if you have children. This may not be what you want to hear, but the sooner you come to terms with this fact, the better off you and your children will be. Working with a mediator can help you resolve issues that come up after the terms of your divorce are final without having to go through the court system. The court is simply not set up
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
Navigating the intricacies of co-parenting after a divorce can be challenging, but AMS Mediation in Minnesota offers a solution that promotes cooperation and harmony: divorce mediation.
Promoting Open Communication: AMS Mediation emphasizes open communication between co-parents as a foundation for successful co-parenting. Through guided discussions facilitated by experienced mediators, parents can address concerns, clarify expectations, and establish effective channels of communication to foster a healthy co-parenting relationship.
Fostering Collaborative Decision-Making: Unlike traditional divorce proceedings, which often result
If you and your partner have decided to divorce and you are wondering whether mediation might be an option to pursue, one big question you may have is whether it is an effective way to settle the terms of your divorce. You may be surprised to learn that the Minnesota courts actually recommend that all couples attempt an alternative dispute resolution technique (like mediation) before pursuing litigation, or a court battle.
When you navigate your divorce using the traditional court system, you are locked into a place that your attorneys can control and the decision(s) are made by the judge. This can be emotionally taxing for both you and your divorcing spouse. When you litigate your divorce, you have very little control over the most important decisions related to your divorce that impact your future. It is important to realize that you do have choices when it comes to how to settle your divorce. AMS Mediation offers a wide variety of divorce support services that can help you through this difficult time with less overall stress, time and financial burden.
