What is the coach’s aim for their client through the divorce process?
The coach makes sure that the client has realistic goals and objectives and that the client becomes as knowledgeable as possible about the divorce process.

It is important that the client remains calm and emotionally regulated through the process of divorce so their decisions are not negatively affected by negative emotions. A coach helps you build a team of professionals for each aspect of the client’s divorce. The client learns how to treat the divorce as a business transaction. In other words, the client navigates divorce in a smart way. These strategies help the client keep their family, finances, and mental well-being in good shape, so they save time and money while navigating divorce.

Which aspects of divorce can a divorce coach help you with?
A divorce coach can help you face all of the challenges after a divorce, like getting used to being a single parent.
