Handling the many aspects of a divorce is extremely difficult and overwhelming for couples. In addition to offering divorce mediation services, Amber Serwat of AMS Mediation offers divorcing couples coaching in Burnsville, MN. Divorce coaching is different from divorce mediation in that the role of a divorce coach is to provide support and guidance for one party. A mediator remains neutral and helps a couple find common ground
We have heard a lot in the last few months about how the Covid-19 pandemic does not care about borders, religious and political affiliation, and most other categories that organize our society. This is true—the virus that has changed our world so dramatically in such a short time does not care about much other than spreading to a new carrier, whoever that may be. But the novel coronavirus is not the only force of nature
While most of us assume that divorces are generally settled by a judge in the courts, this trend is quickly changing. The Minnesota court system actually now requires all couples to use an Alternative Dispute Resolution technique like mediation to settle the terms of a divorce BEFORE you appear in court. Mediation is widely regarded as a highly effective way to resolve issues such as division of property, development of a parenting plan (or custody agreement) and determination of whether child or spousal support
When you decide to pursue a divorce, it is important to hire the best possible support to help you navigate the process. For some individuals, this may involve hiring a divorce attorney and beginning the difficult process of a court battle. For others, you may want to consider divorce mediation to settle the important aspects of your divorce like division of property, child custody and child and/or spousal support. Amber Serwat of AMS Mediation is a leading divorce mediator in Burnsville, MN, who has spent her career helping families through divorce. She has built a strong reputation for being a top Twin Cities top divorce mediator because she understands Minnesota law, can help facilitate positive and productive conversation and has personal experience with divorce.
When we get married, most of us do not consider the possibility that our marriage will end in divorce. So, there is simply no reason to think much about the divorce process. However, when life takes an unexpected turn and we determine that ending our marriage is the best decision, understanding the divorce process quickly becomes very relevant and more important. If you live in Dakota County, Minnesota, AMS Mediation can guide you through this process.
