If you have separated or divorced in 2021 or are going through the difficult process right now, you may be looking ahead to holidays like Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Christmas with uncertainty, dread, anxiety and sadness. This is absolutely normal. Even if you were unhappy in your marriage, holidays were likely spent as a family unit. This year is going to feel different – no doubt about that. One thing that you can do
One of the most important components in a marriage is communication. In fact, when couples are asked why they decided to divorce, many point to failed or poor communication as the root cause of their marital problems. One thing that is important to recognize is that if you share children, the need for strong communication does not end when you sign your divorce papers. In fact, it is more important than ever to develop a clear and open path for communication once your divorce is over and you are both leading separate lives. A communication coach can help you communicate effectively, reduce overall conflict and focus on workable solutions
We have heard a lot in the last few months about how the Covid-19 pandemic does not care about borders, religious and political affiliation, and most other categories that organize our society. This is true—the virus that has changed our world so dramatically in such a short time does not care about much other than spreading to a new carrier, whoever that may be. But the novel coronavirus is not the only force of nature
While none of us would choose to be fighting the COVID-19 pandemic this year, we can all agree that this is a time to keep our community safe. AMS Mediation has made a commitment to safely offer Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) services during this uncertain time. This means that you can work with our team virtually to resolve issues related to divorce, child custody, parenting disputes and many others. We have transitioned our services online so that you are able to move forward with the issues you face
There are many reasons couples decide to divorce. One very common issue is a lack of or difficulty with communication. Communication problems are at the root of many of the issues that cause divorce. Even if you have decided that your marriage cannot be saved, there are reasons to continue to work on strengthening communication during the divorce process and ever after the divorce. For example, communication is a critical part of co-parenting after divorce. A communication coach can help you improve communication, reduce conflict, and develop strategies to solve issues well after your divorce is final. Amber Serwat of AMS Mediation is a trusted local communication coach in Burnsville, MN. Amber will tailor her approach to your specific needs
Co-parenting after a divorce requires openness, strong communication and cooperation.

Our team helps you keep in mind that your children’s wellbeing must always come first, even when emotions are high.
