Divorce coaching is right for those seeking a cost-effective and high-integrity plan of action in various stages of the divorce process.

It is an opportunity to maintain your privacy while you work through all of the considerations that go into deciding if, or when, to divorce.

You may be in the contemplation stage, trying to determine if divorce or separation is the right path for you. While only you can make that decision, Laura can clarify what the process involves, explain your options, and offer you insight into what life after divorce might look like.

If you have decided you want a divorce you can save thousands (and thousands!) of dollars on legal and court fees with the right preparation. The challenge you face is that you don’t yet know what you don’t know. Laura will give you checklists of what information to collect, help you evaluate the information you have collected, and refer you to experts, if needed, to decipher the divorce context of what you have gathered.

You may be working with an attorney or another mediator and are already fully engaged in your divorce process. You want divorce coaching that will empower you to think about the cost benefit of the path you are on, help you to craft strong proposals, and prepare you to effectively negotiate or evaluate proposals. With Laura’s guidance, you will find your voice, hone your focus, and be accelerated through your divorce in a cost-efficient manner.

Perhaps you are planning to self-represent or do not yet have the cooperation of your spouse. You do not have to go at it alone. If you are in California, Laura can prepare and file your legal documents. She can help you make written proposals and if court is necessary, she will share her trial experience to help you appear in court fully prepared. Laura will offer referrals to other mediators or connect you with an attorney if continuing to self-represent is not in your best interests.
