Empowering mothers navigating divorce, custody & co-parenting disputes with high conflict individuals
Expertise in special needs parenting &
recovery from partner's sexual addiction
"A skilled divorce coach helps you ...
define your priorities,
understand the process,
prepare smart questions for consultations, and
hire from clarity instead of crisis.
"That foundation often leads to better attorney relationships, lower conflict, and more strategic decisions throughout the case.
"... I often recommend hiring a divorce coach BEFORE hiring a divorce attorney. Most people choose their attorney at the height of fear, shock, or urgency. In that moment, what they want most is relief and protection, and that can lead to choosing the attorney who matches the emotion rather than the one who matches their long-term goals."
– attorney Susan Guthrie of Divorce and Beyond Podcast
