Ensuring you get the best support at every step of the divorce process can make all the difference. And we’re not just talking about getting the right outcome for you and your financial future; we’re also talking about your ability to bounce back with a happy and positive mindset as you start to build a life different from the one you expected.
This is where a divorce coach can help to make a difference. With a wealth of skills, knowledge and expertise, let’s look at some of the benefits a divorce coach can bring and how they can make a difference.
The value of your professional network
While expert legal advice from a family law team is crucial, there are many other professionals who can help your journey through divorce run as smoothly as possible. These include mortgage and financial advisors, for example, and counsellors and therapists who can help if your divorce is particularly contentious and traumatic.
A lesser-known service, however, is that provided by a divorce coach, someone trained to work with anyone going through a marriage or relationship breakdown. With extensive knowledge of the entire process, a divorce coach offers helpful information, support, and expert coaching.
The potential to save time and reduce costs
As family lawyers, our first meeting with you as a client is very detailed. It involves us collecting a lot of information from you and then collating it into a coherent and organised format.
A divorce coach can help reduce the amount of time you and your lawyer (whether that’s the team here at Harrogate Family Law or otherwise) spend on paperwork and help you prepare for meetings. Both of these may well help reduce costs.
Helping you to make informed decisions
Divorce is often a time of uncertainty. You’re likely to have many questions and even anxieties about the future. Sometimes, this can lead to knee-jerk reactions and decision-making based on fear rather than positivity and purpose.
Working with a coach can help you manage your feelings and emotions in a separate space. Allowing you to narrow your focus areas, address what matters, and make informed decisions with clarity.
Improved communication with your ex-spouse or partner
Going through a divorce can really impact the way you communicate with your ex-spouse, particularly if emotions are running high.
While a divorce coach can’t guarantee that you and your ex-spouse will be on the very best of terms, they will help you communicate more effectively in the areas where that matters the most, such as co-parenting your children or discussing strategies for managing any conflict.
A more empowered you
Whether you’re deciding if divorce is the right path for you, need support during the process itself, or are struggling to understand why your marriage is over and how to move forward, a divorce coach will empower you at every step.
The emotional support they provide will help you feel more confident, not only when making decisions during your divorce but also about what you want for your life once everything is finalised. Ultimately, a divorce coach will be your biggest cheerleader as you look to the future.
