Divorce Coach

This service helps adults function at their best in order to communicate effectively and negotiate the terms of their divorce. Divorce coaches meet with the adults to:

• enable clients to identify emotionally charged issues and plan how to handle these effectively in the divorce negotiations.
• provide information that enables clients to better negotiate on their own behalf.
• teach communication and other skills useful in the divorce negotiations.
• consult with attorneys to assist them in working with each client.
• facilitate resolving any emotional crises that arise and threaten to prevent reaching a  comprehensive, effective divorce settlement.

Divorce coaches work with their clients before and often during meetings with attorneys, financial specialists, child specialists and their former spouse. Unlike psychological counseling, which may begin before the divorce and continue during and after the divorce, coaching ends when the divorce settlement is reached. In addition, coaching focuses only on the divorce process itself and not on past issues or other present issues in a client’s life such as psychological adjustment to the life changes a person may face as a result of the divorce.
