In the Collaborative Divorce process, “both parties have a Collaborative Divorce Coach. Divorce Coaches are licensed mental health professionals. In individual and joint meetings the coaches work with the couple to:

1.) Identify and prioritize the concerns of each person.
2.) Make effective use of conflict resolution and communication skills.
3.) Develop effective co-parenting skills.
4.) Work collaboratively with the couple, their attorneys and other involved professionals to improve communication, reduce misunderstandings and solve problems as they come up.

The Collaborative Divorce Process is based on the belief that families can get through divorce in a more emotionally healthy way when the couple is able to learn how to interact and communicate with each other in a more respectful, honest and open manner. Communication and self-management skills are taught to the couple by their coaches. The couple uses these new skills in their settlement discussions, and in their post divorce co-parenting.”

This is not legal advice. You should consult an attorney if you have legal questions that relate to your specific divorce. Technorati Tags: collaborative divorce coach filing divorce husband collaborative law divorced legal women woman
