Do divorce coaches give legal advice?
No. Coaches can give legal information and direct you to legal resources, but we can’t give you legal advice.
Do I have to hire an attorney and a divorce coach?
Not necessarily. Many people are able to represent themselves in a divorce. There are many factors to consider if/when an attorney is needed. It may be possible to hire an attorney for specific tasks, which can reduce costs. One benefit of having a coach is that the hourly rate is usually lower than an attorney’s, and many of the issues that arise can be resolved with the assistance of a coach.
Do I have to live in the same state as my divorce coach?
No. Because the coach is not giving legal advice or acting as a counselor, there are no licensing requirements.
Coaching sessions are conducted via Zoom.
Does the divorce coach meet with my partner and me, or just me?
In general, the coach only works with you because the purpose is to get you through the process based on your values and goals. We work on the things that you have control over, such as how to respond and steps you can take to feel empowered. It is unlikely that you can “change” your Partner.
There may be some situations in which meeting with both parents can facilitate the co-parenting relationship; however, this would be on a case-by case basis.
How much does it cost?
I am happy to offer a free, 30-minute consultation so that both of us can decide if we are a good fit and if I can be helpful to you.
If we both decide to work together then the rate is $200/hour or you can purchase a package of 6 sessions for $1000.
