Collaborative Divorce Coaching

Collaborative practice
When engaging in the delicate process of divorcing without going to court, spouses may hire teams of professionals to assist them such as attorneys, financial specialists, collaborative divorce coaches, and child specialists. Collaborative divorce practices emphasize communication, respect and cooperation between spouses.

Collaborative practice has basic elements: the promise to not go to court, an open and voluntary exchange of information, a commitment to respect the shared goals of both parties involved, and to work toward a settlement that is in the best interest of the children.

Coaching perspective
A collaborative divorce coach approaches divorce, grief, family interactions, co-parenting or other issues from a psychological perspective. In conventional divorces, allowing the court system to make the decisions over conflicting situations often makes people into adversaries from a heated battle, whereas collaborative practice is about cooperation. In good faith, parties work together to come to a mutual settlement. A collaborative coach works to help you deal with the pain, emotions and stress that come from working through changing relationships.

Working through difficult conversations
Coaches help keep things balanced by assisting both sides through having some difficult conversations that may have the chance of escalating and hindering successful negotiation. Without coaches and others dedicated to a collaborative approach helping you get through the process, it can be tough. Emotions can be stirred up and anger and frustration may come to the surface during negotiation, but a coach can help you work through those situations so that you can continue to have a respectful tone of understanding and compassion. When children are involved, we focus a lot of attention on parenting issues. The collaborative divorce coaches assist the divorcing couples in developing a comprehensive parenting plan. Overall, coaches promote discussion toward future goals and assist you with moving forward toward the next phases of your lives.
