A Divorce Coach Can Help Prep You for Battle
When it comes to a marriage ending, heartbreak isn’t the only hurdle. Whether your divorce is amicable or high conflict, it is time to get ready for the fight of your life: the fight for your future.
While it is hard to put a label on the benefit of being seen, understanding where you are coming from, or years of experience, below are a few of the things you can expect from working with your divorce coach.
-
Prioritizing
“I want everything” is a great place to start, but in a divorce there is going to be some give and take. The only thing I can tell you for certain is that you aren’t going to get everything and you will lose things that are very dear to you. That is why it is important to look closely at your priorities so that when you meet with your attorney they can advocate for you in the best way possible.
-
Planning
Alright Badass, we have a lot of things to get in order, from finding an attorney to determining where you will live. Planning is ongoing. Before you leave or your spouse leaves, there is evidence to collect while you have access. Figuring out how much money you can spend on legal support and what kind of financial support you expect from your spouse can all be done outside a law firm so your attorney has information from the beginning.
-
Paperwork
There is no love or light in mountains of paperwork: case information statements, pendente lite orders, certifications of insurance, bank statements, retirement statements. There is so much paperwork to complete and collect. We’ll work to develop a system to keep everything organized and on time to avoid costly and frustrating delays.
-
Peer Support
Whether you are looking for one on one support with your coach or looking to connect with a wider group of women going through similar experiences, you can count on the Badassery to hold your hand on the journey. We’ll have sessions just the two of us and you can also elect into groups or to be set up with another Badass.
