And it takes not only a divorce coach to help people do the best that they can do during divorce, but a whole team of divorce professionals which you can engage on an as-needed basis in most jurisdictions.
This team includes (but is not limited to):
- an attorney (or more than one if there are complex legal/ownership issues like businesses, investments, cultural and spiritual authorities involved)
- a financial advisor, one familiar with laws relating to taxation of marital and non-marital assets, and exchanges in divorce
- a parenting professional who can help separating or divorcing parents sort out what is in the best interests of the child(ren)
- therapists, especially those who specialize in trauma, domestic/interpersonal violence, addictions, high conflict or disordered personalities – all mental states where decision-making may be greatly hampered or where leaving a relationship poses a life-threatening situation.
- real estate professionals since housing is often one of the most significant assets to be dealt with
- and a certified divorce coach who understand where the boundaries are between their role and the roles and responsibilities of all the other professionals and is someone who can gather multiple referrals for the divorcing client to interview, so that the clients are making the decision about who is the best support for them.
“When something bad happens, you have three choices: let it define you, let it destroy you, or let it make you stronger.”
– Dr. Suess.
The role of the divorce coach is to hold the door open for the possibility of creating a transformative experience for our clients so that all of us can create a better understanding of ourselves, better connections with others, better environments in which to do the work which is meaningful for each person, and to provide the next generation, the children, with the understanding that they are loved and that each holds the promise of greatness.
