There is no denying that divorce is difficult on a family. So, if you and your spouse have made the difficult decision that divorce is your best path forward, you may be looking for ways to complete the process in a way that has the least amount of negative impact on your loved ones.

The stress of a divorce often forces parents into a here-and-now state of mind; it is a life experience that can cause the feeling of compressed time, high stress, and no-time-to-rest.

The purpose of spousal support is to provide financial assistance to the lower earning individual in a divorce in order to allow him/her to maintain a standard of living that they have become accustom too during the relationship they had while they were married.

One of the most stressful aspects of divorce is the financial impact it can have. Since your possessions, assets and debts are generally split evenly in a divorce settlement and expenses (like housing) go up, you could end up needing to make up to 30% more each year to keep your standard of living constant. This financial impact can make the emotional pain even worse as you struggle to grieve the loss of your marriage while you worry about your financial future.
Divorce mediation is one way to save money during your divorce and put you in the best possible financial situation in order to move forward.
The stress of a divorce does not necessarily stop when the divorce papers are signed. Very often, when couples share children the divorce is simply the beginning of a new phase of the relationship. For this reason, AMS Mediation offers post-divorce counseling services which provides support to couples who have already completed the divorce process. For more information call 952-252-1492 today.
