You should consider divorce coaching and support at any stage of the divorce process. Whether you’re just starting to think about divorce, are already in the midst of it, or are dealing with the aftermath, a divorce coach can provide valuable support, guidance, and tools to help you through each phase. 

• Emotional Support and Stress Management: Offers guidance to help you manage the emotional ups and downs of divorce, providing coping strategies to handle stress, anxiety, and other challenging emotions.

• Individuals with Simple, Uncontested Divorces: If your divorce is straightforward, uncontested, and you and your spouse are in full agreement on all matters, you may not need the additional support of a divorce coach. 
• Couples Who Have Already Completed Their Divorce and Feel Fully Settled: If your divorce is finalized and you feel confident about your new direction, coaching may not be necessary. 
• People in Need of Legal Advice: Divorce coaches are not lawyers and cannot provide legal advice. If you require specific legal guidance, you should consult an attorney. 

A divorce coach can help by: 

• Providing emotional support to manage stress, anxiety, and other challenging feelings. 
• Guiding you through difficult conversations and negotiations with your spouse. 
• Helping you set realistic goals and create a plan to achieve them. 
• Offering strategies to avoid common pitfalls and costly mistakes. 
• Assisting in organizing your documents and preparing for meetings with attorneys or mediators. 
• Supporting you in developing a plan for your life post-divorce, including career, housing, and financial planning. 

The cost of divorce coaching varies depending on the services you need and the length of time you require support. Some coaches charge an hourly rate, while others offer packages based on the duration or specific services. While there is a cost associated, investing in coaching can save you time, reduce stress, and help you achieve a more positive outcome in your divorce. It can also help reduce your costs with other professionals if you can streamline meetings with your attorney or CDFA because you are better prepared and have made decisions with your coach before meeting with other professionals.
