divorce and uncoupling coaching
For some couples mediation may not be the right fit, particularly if a highly contested litigated divorce is likely. For individuals (or couples) who need more hand-holding than a mediator can provide as a neutral, I offer divorce/uncoupling coaching as a packaged suite of services.
The Non-Toxic Divorce Program
The Non-Toxic Divorce is a three- to six-month coaching program that makes it nearly impossible for individuals seeking a divorce to fail at uncoupling in a conscious, non-toxic way by guiding them through planning, initiating, and finalizing their divorce.
why is a divorce coach worth it?
A divorce coach is a worthwhile investment precisely because Suzanne is NOT your lawyer, therapist, or friend. You will probably want or need all of those people at your side as well, but it’s generally better for your outcome and relationships if all of those people “stay in their lane” and you don’t expect from them types of support they aren’t in the best position to provide.
- Hear the hard truths friends and family can’t or won’t tell you.
- Save on legal fees and make time with your lawyer more efficient by being prepared before hiring and meeting with your lawyer.
- Get tips on how to hire a lawyer, what to look for, and red and green flags.
- Brainstorm ideas with an objective third-party.
- Plan your divorce/uncoupling discreetly without family and friends getting involved or unduly influencing your decisions but still have the benefit of someone “on your side” to speak with.
- Prior planning prevents problems: I will not recommend illegal or unethical courses of action but getting all your ducks in a row before announcing a split or filing for divorce can make a big difference in both the emotional toll and financial outcome for everyone involved.
- Role play having “the talk” with your partner if even asking for or announcing the split is a major emotional obstacle.
- Suzanne has been there; she has been through her own divorces (handled pro se and uncontested) and has also seen the toxic and expensive side in her past legal practice.
how much does the program cost?
The program costs $5,000 to get started. Payment by credit card, ACH/wire, and PayPal accepted.
What’s included?
1. A package of useful worksheets to assist in gathering necessary information to begin your uncoupling process.
2. 12 one-on-one, one-hour coaching calls. These can be spread over approximately 3 months (12 weeks) as a weekly call or spread out further up to 6 months.
3. Personalized suggestions based upon review of your data from the worksheet package and particular circumstances.
Suzanne understands that divorce/uncoupling is often a strain not only emotionally, but financially. We offer flexible scheduling both during traditional business hours and during evenings and weekends so you can schedule coaching sessions when it’s less disruptive to your work schedule, child-care obligations, or when you are able to speak privately if you’re still in the home with your partner (particularly if you are still in the planning stage). Because you can only control yourself, and not your partner’s, lawyer’s or the court’s timeline, we leave flexibility for the 12 coaching sessions to be weekly over 12 weeks or spread out over up to six months.
what if I need more time or help?
Need more sessions? The monthly coaching continuation add-on costs $1000 for weekly 1:1 one-hour sessions or you may opt for a la carte sessions at $300 each. I also offer ultra-premium services such as more in-depth custom custody schedule assistance or budgeting plans on an as-needed, a la carte basis.
