Resources

One Mom's Battle is a community and movement started by Tina Swithin during her harrowing divorce and custody battle in the California family court system. In 2011, two years into her legal battle, Swithin began a blog to document her experiences and connect with others. The blog gained significant traction in 2012 when Christie Brinkley, also going through a difficult custody battle, connected with Swithin and shared her blog, bringing wider attention to the issues. The blog has transformed into a movement with over 100 chapters in five countries and a large online community, providing a platform for people to share experiences and find support. 

Today, One Mom's Battle is a global support network for parents navigating high-conflict divorces and custody battles, particularly those involving individuals with narcissistic traits. 

Mission 

• A core mission of "One Mom's Battle" is to reform the family court system, which Swithin argues is ill-equipped to handle high-conflict cases and often prioritizes parental rights over the best interests of the child.

• Swithin advocates for legislative changes and educating the public about post-separation abuse.

• High Conflict Divorce Coaching (you're using one now!) are strategic partners for clients facing the ongoing chaos of a toxic or adversarial ex. The HCDC brings clarity, structure, and tactical guidance to every stage of the process, from documentation and communication to co-parenting and courtroom preparation. HCDCs do not offer legal or therapeutic advice, but fill a critical gap between those roles. HCDCs are trauma-informed professionals with a deep understanding of post-separation abuse and the family court system. They empower clients to disengage from emotional traps, operate from strategy over emotion, and make decisions rooted in logic and protection. The work of a HCDC is about helping clients navigate one of the most challenging battles of their lives.
