EASING THE

DIVORCE

PROCESS

…through collaborative practice

When divorcing couples treat each other like adversaries in a lawsuit, the effects can be devastating to individuals and families. When a couple chooses to divorce using collaborative practice, the process is distinctly different. Working collaboratively with a professional team and coaching couples during the divorce settlement process has shown me over and over again, that despite high conflict situations, the benefits of working together in this way are significant. Most importantly, the outcomes that are achieved have a substantially positive impact on the children of divorcing couples.

Why Choose a Collaborative Divorce?

Everyone has heard, or you may have yourself experienced, a divorce horror story.

Sadly, the traditional litigated divorce process can add significant insult to injury when it comes to an already emotional and draining situation.

What is a Collaborative Divorce Coach?

When you think about divorce, the term collaboration is probably one of the last words to come to mind. Here are two people asking to end their marriage, both of whom are likely experiencing hurt feelings, lack of trust and want nothing more than to start living their lives apart. So when divorcing couples first come to me, I’m not surprised to hear that one, or both, of them is a little skeptical.
