One of the most common questions we are asked at AMS Mediation is whether or not divorce mediation can be successful for a divorce that is complex, high in conflict and/or emotion, or just simply difficult. Most people assume that complicated divorces are destined for a court battle. However, divorce mediation is actually highly effective and even recommended by the courts BEFORE you attempt to resolve your divorce
Divorce mediation has been around for many years, but in recent years, a trend toward providing a personalized and customized approach has become an important part of the process. Timelines that are tailored to the needs of your family, mediation sessions that can be virtual and are scheduled at times that work well for you and your ex are just a few ways that this personalized approach can be put into action. AMS Mediation is a leader in offering highly efficient divorce mediation services to clients all over Minnesota
AMS Mediation is known for providing divorcing couples with excellent mediation services. We have helped many couples avoid the expense, stress, and greater length of time associated with court-based divorce proceedings. In addition, we have given those divorcing couples a greater chance to resolve their disagreements. By avoiding conducting the divorce in a courtroom, we save families time, stress, and money, the latter of which can be put to use in the next chapters of their lives. Divorce mediation is the most frequent process that our clients use, but it is not the only mediation process that we can offer to divorcing and divorced couples. We also offer Custody Mediation and Post-Decree Mediation. Because of what we faced in 2020, we now offer online mediation and coaching services.
If you and your spouse cannot decide how best to settle the terms of your divorce, the court may recommend that you work with a court approved divorce mediator rather than continue through the courts for resolution. Ultimately, this can be a huge benefit to you and your case, as mediation is a highly effective way to settle your divorce more quickly and with less financial strain than traditional litigation. You and your spouse will be able to choose a divorce mediator in the Apple Valley, MN area, approved by the court system – and if you are looking for a court approved female divorce mediator, Amber Serwat is be a great choice.
If you have decided that the best path forward for your family is divorce, developing a strong and fair parenting plan can be one of the most significant challenges. Parents tend not to agree on how to divide time with their children, in large part because they love them so much and cannot envision life without seeing them every day. But, the harsh reality with divorce is that developing a custody agreement (also known as a parenting plan) is what needs to happen in order to move forward with your life. AMS Mediation understands how difficult this aspect of a divorce can be and has extensive experience creating workable parenting protocols to set limits, define boundaries and expectations so that a child custody agreement can be successful for a family.
