Divorce Coaching

Are you facing a possible forthcoming divorce, struggling with a current divorce, or still feeling devastated by a past divorce? Are you feeling overwhelmed and needing to make big decisions at a time when you are emotionally drained? Are you feeling confused and under confident in these unchartered waters? Do you need an action-oriented warrior to provide counsel, support, and guidance and to walk alongside you during this process?
The Divorce Coach is quickly becoming an integral part of the Divorce Support Team (attorney, therapist, mediator, financial advisor, etc.)

What is a Divorce Coach?

As your divorce coach, I can support you throughout the divorce process. From the very beginning until the post-divorce work is complete, and a new chapter is underway, I can assist you in making the best possible decisions every day. Whether it is being the best parent you can be, being responsive to the requests for information made by those supporting the process or focusing on developing a new identity and new role as head of your own household, you are not alone.

How do I know if I need a Divorce Coach?

For most people, the prospect of a divorce is an overwhelming life crisis. You need to make big decisions at a time when you are emotionally swamped. The demands and decisions are confusing. You are exhausted just getting through each day. Sometimes you feel like you have lost yourself in a fog and lost your sense of direction. You don’t know what steps you need to take, how you can figure it all out, or how long it will take. Just thinking about it makes you want to crawl under the covers. If this sounds familiar, then a Divorce Coach might be able to help.

Why hire a Divorce Coach?

Hiring a divorce coach can offer several benefits to individuals navigating the complexities and emotional challenges of a divorce. Here are some reasons why someone might consider hiring a divorce coach:

Emotional Support

Divorce can be emotionally taxing, and a divorce coach provides a safe and confidential space for clients to express their feelings and concerns.

Objective Guidance

Emotions can cloud judgment. A divorce coach can provide objective and clear-headed advice, helping clients make decisions in their best interest.

Efficient Decision Making

By guiding clients through the decision-making process, divorce coaches can help individuals avoid becoming bogged down by indecision or emotional turmoil.

Understanding the Process

A divorce coach can educate clients about the legal process, helping them understand their rights, options, and the potential consequences of their decisions.

Effective Communication

Coaches can teach clients effective communication strategies, which can be essential when interacting with an ex-spouse, especially when children are involved.

Preparation for Legal Meetings

A divorce coach can help clients prepare for meetings with attorneys, ensuring they ask the right questions and understand the answers.

Cost Savings

By helping clients stay focused and make informed decisions, a divorce coach can potentially save clients money by reducing the amount of time spent with lawyers and minimizing drawn-out disputes.

Parenting Guidance

If children are involved, a divorce coach can provide guidance on co-parenting strategies, ensuring the well-being of the children remains a priority.

Resource Referral

Divorce coaches often have a network of other professionals (e.g., therapists, financial planners, lawyers) to whom they can refer clients for specialized assistance.

Future Planning

A divorce marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Coaches can assist clients in envisioning and planning for their post-divorce life.

Accountability

Like any coach, a divorce coach can hold clients accountable, ensuring they follow through on decisions and tasks that move them towards resolution.

Personal Growth

Divorce can be an opportunity for personal growth. A divorce coach can help clients identify lessons, grow from the experience, and set goals for their future.

The American Bar Association recognizes Divorce Coaching as

A flexible, goal-oriented process designed to support, motivate, and guide people going through divorce to help them make the best possible decisions for their future, based on their particular interests, needs, and concerns.

Divorce Coaches who work with mediators or collaborative divorce professionals are more likely to have the right experience and credentials to get you through this difficult time without an escalation of the conflict.

Jill really helped my issue of parent coordination in Tampa. She helped the mother of my child and I come to a coordinated and agreeable solution of our schedule, how we interact, and showed us how to respect one another. A lot of the other mediators/ parent coordinators in Tampa just seemed to want to get the solution and my money where as Jill wanted to get down to the root and find a way to coexist, and thats what we attained. Thank you, Jill for giving us a Successful Solution.

Jill responded promptly to all my questions, and made the mediation process for a separation agreement as smooth as it could be. I even referred her to a friend of mine when she felt she was getting overcharged by a divorce attorney who offered mediation services. It's never a good time when mediation is needed, but Jill really helped find the middle ground.

So I wasn’t convinced we actually needed a mediator but I contacted Jill and am glad we did. We had 4 strong personalities and Jill did a fantastic job with everyone. She was professional, fair, and direct. None of the 4 partners thought we would make any progress in our mediation meeting. However, after just 2 hours we had an agreement and ALL FOUR partners signed. Jill was fantastic.

Jill is the Absolute best to work with. Quick with communication and easy to work with.

Thank you, Jill. You are very helpful and keep things calm.

We have been through lawsuits and this one has to be the easiest one yet. Jill, you did an excellent job keeping things under control.

Amy Dedoussis

We started negotiating with a different mediator and thankfully changed to Jill who saved us from a potentially awful agreement situation. She was professional, sharp, and helped us resolve everything in a timely manner with the least cost possible to us. I Highly recommend her for anyone hoping to avoid court and use mediation services instead. Jill is the best out there in my opinion.
