A divorce is a marker for a huge life change. You will no longer be sharing your daily life, your property with your spouse. Divorce means that you will live separate lives. For the most part, this is likely exactly what you are hoping for. However, one thing that can be extremely difficult to determine is how to develop a custody agreement that works for the entire family. Sharing custody can be one of the biggest adjustments in a divorce settlement, as you are no longer all live under one roof and you may not see your child/ren each and every day. Negotiating with your ex about how to share custody is the most important element of a settlement agreement. AMS Mediation is a trusted mediation firm in Burnsville, MN, that can help you find a solution that puts your kids first, conserves financial resources and puts you in the best position for future negotiations with your ex.
