What is a Divorce Coach? Do I need one?
Divorce is overwhelming in the best of circumstances. Imagine if you could have a personal assistant to guide you through the process. The divorce coach is a coach who specializes in divorce. They are familiar with the legal process and can help you navigate it while you manage everything else. A great coach can help you prioritize your needs and guide you through the process of divorcing.
Coaching divorce is a relatively new concept. This is a new concept that has gained popularity due to the fact that divorce coaching is becoming more popular because people realize how toxic the lawyer-up-and-fight – destroy everything you come across – approach to divorcing can be for everyone. How can you make the best of your present while still protecting your future? A skilled professional can be your ally and provide all the support you require without making you feel scared or stuck.
What does a coach do for divorce?
A professional coach trained in divorce is someone who helps people navigate the process of divorcing and create a new chapter in their lives. They can’t give legal advice and are not usually lawyers. They can help you determine the type of legal assistance you require and help you connect to the right experts and resources for your particular situation.
Divorce coaches do not provide legal advice and are not lawyers. They help you understand your options, give you information, and empower you to make the best decisions.

What makes a coach for divorce different from a counselor, mediator, or therapist.
Your coach will connect you with the right experts and resources, but they don’t provide any advice or services. Your coach is invested in helping you achieve your goals and finding the best strategy. It’s not passive support. Divorce coaching differs from talking to a friend or therapist. Your coach is an advocate who can help you overcome your fears and reach specific goals.
Coaching will help you answer powerful questions such as “How can I live my best life when I’m going through a divorce or trying to figure out what to do after it?”
Divorce coaches are not lawyers who can offer legal advice. They also cannot provide advice or treatment. They are professionals who have been trained in the holistic management and support of those going through divorce. Your divorce coach, unlike a mediator, is impartial and will not take sides with you or your spouse. Instead, they are trained professionals in the holistic management of people going through divorce.
