Divorce Coaching

A divorce coach is used in Collaborative Practice to address the emotional and behavioral issues that arise as a result of separation and divorce. Divorce Coaches also facilitate discussions during four-way meetings of spouses and their attorneys. Divorce coaching typically is utilized during the collaborative divorce process and terminates when the divorce is final. Some individuals opt to contract for coaching after the divorce, yet that is done on an individual basis.
