Many couples really take stock of their relationship as one year ends and a new one begins. The holidays are a time for reflection and can also be a time for intense stress. If you are realizing that the time has come to take steps toward a separation or divorce, you are not alone. AMS Mediation can help you navigate the process with less financial and emotional stress. Here are some of the ways that our team can help you.
