The American Bar Association (ABA) defines divorce coaching as “a flexible, goal-oriented process designed to support, motivate, and guide people going through divorce to help them make the best possible decisions for their future, based on their particular interests, needs, and concerns”.
South Orange County Mediation Divorce Coaching helps guide clients in making better financial and emotional decisions throughout the legal process of divorce by providing divorce support that helps clients recognize that they are not powerless in the divorce process. Divorce is much more than just a legal process; divorce entails the uncoupling of a life and the hopes and dreams that were a part of it. Divorce support though divorce coaching is recommended by the American Bar Association because it has proven to be effective in the legal process as a smart way of reducing courtroom drama and legal expenses. SOCM Divorce Coaches interview their clients to get a necessary history and background on the client’s perspective of what they believe to be of importance and significance so that clients feel that they are being clear, thorough, and most of all heard. Knowing the clients experience and perspective promotes discussing expectations and formulating and offering divorce support as they set their goals for settlement or trial that are both options in the legal process.
South Orange County Mediation Divorce Coaches realize that the divorce process is a minefield and advocate that clients be informed and aware of where they are in the legal process as well as emotionally. SOCM demystifies divorce by educating the client as to what to expect during the legal process of divorce and providing divorce support through accountability, motivation and guidance to help take the fear out of the legal process. We prepare the client to decipher what is important and what information has higher priority and relevance to allow them to present a clear narrative to their attorney saving the client money and enabling time spent between client and attorney on the legal process to be more fruitful. SOCM also does role-play exercises of what may happen in joint session negotiations with the opposing side.
Most people fear confrontation and this fear causes them to resort to accommodating or avoidance tactics. We coach and offer divorce support to clients in order to retrain their habitual responses to conflict and encourage them to employ assertive collaborative negotiation techniques in joint session divorce resolution. Old habits die-hard but can be corrected through awareness and determination. SOCM divorce support motivates clients to define past goals that were once shared goals in the marriage to redefine their goals as independent, self-aware individuals.
