Many people say that getting a divorce is one of the most stressful life events. It takes a huge emotional and financial toll, and if you have children, the impact does not stop with you. Your children also must adapt to the change as well. Divorce impacts you financially, socially and is a dramatic change to your family dynamic. Deciding if you are truly ready involves much thought and reflection and can take months
One thing we all learn as we get older is that life is more expensive than it has ever been. Homes and cars cost more, food costs more, gas costs more each year.

Compared to the cost of pursuing a divorce through the court system, divorce mediation is far less expensive and less stressful. In addition to these important benefits, the courts also encourage couples

AMS Mediation offers many different support services for parents just like you who are
It is critically important that you can trust those that you hire to help you with important life events.

There is no question that the trend to virtual meetings has offered many positives for all parties. The staff at AMS Mediation has successfully translated all of our mediation services from in person to virtual to best meet the needs of our clients. Virtual mediation services are more efficient, have less logistical challenges, can improve overall communication, minimize the stress involved, and ultimately result in a more positive
A divorce that goes through the formal court process can seem very impersonal and harsh. You hire attorneys whose job it is to “win” at the cost of members of your own family. Decisions are left in the hands of a judge who does not know you personally. In fact, many divorce agreements that are developed through litigation need to be altered significantly down the road. AMS Mediation offers an alternative approach to the divorce
