Divorce Coach: Thinking Partner For Both The Business And Story Sides Of Divorce

While every divorce is as unique as the individuals involved, there are some areas of the divorce process that are universally common. Steps such as the need for organizing and gathering of information, parenting plan creation and agreement, the need for effective communication, and so on. Whether someone is involved in a high-conflict divorce or a collaborative process, in a big city or a small, rural town, in the United States or Europe – the circumstances can be wildly varied but the base emotions are relatively similar – emotional overwhelm, anger, sadness, fear.

The “business” side of divorce requires a lot of paperwork and organization … there are forms and forms for those forms and lists and checklists for checklists of forms. It’s an exaggeration but when you’re in the thick of it, that’s what it feels like. In order to focus on the “business” side of divorce, the parties involved need to work through and past the “story” side of divorce – the emotions and blame and clouded judgment.
