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
Not much about a divorce feels lucky when you are going through it. However, you truly can consider yourself lucky if you have an amicable or uncontested divorce because it allows you to navigate the divorce process in less time, with less stress, and less financial and emotional cost. An amicable or uncontested divorce in Minnesota is one in which both parties agree to the terms of the divorce including the division of joint property, child custody, child support and spousal support (also known as alimony). Even when you have an amicable or uncontested divorce, however, there are many important details to work out in order to finalize your divorce.
If you and your spouse are looking to minimize the stress and pain associated with your decision to divorce, consider the divorce mediation services offered by AMS Mediation. We are experts in divorce mediation, including all aspects of Minnesota divorce law. Divorce mediation has many advantages over the more well-known alternative, the court-based divorce process. First, mediated divorce controls costs far better than court-based divorce proceedings, which almost always require that each person hire an attorney to represent them in the proceedings.
Many couples think about divorce for months or even years before they take the first step toward a separation. It is such a huge decision and because it is not one that we make often in our lives, it can be overwhelming to think about the necessary steps to take. AMS Mediation can help you navigate the divorce process from start to finish. No matter what stage you find yourself in, we can sit down with you and help you identify action items to take and a path forward that puts you and your family first. There are some tips for important first steps to take if you are ready to move ahead with planning for a healthy divorce.
