Preparing for Divorce

Prepare by making a plan. The earlier you make the plan the more successful you will be. A divorce plan can be put together before you leave your marriage or at any time during the process. Planning can, and should begin before any other steps are taken including legal action or leaving your home.

The Divorce Planner

The role of a divorce planner is much like the role of a wedding planner except the focus is divorce. The vast amounts of details involved with divorce can be over looked or too emotionally difficult to handle.

Divorce Etiquette

Knowing what to say and how to say it changes when divorce proceedings start. Getting your point across can be like scaling a mountain. The rules have changed and the only way to get through is to quickly learn the new rules and ways of behavior so you do not complicate affairs. This includes not only body language but also how to communicate with your ex, your lawyer, in court, and more. If you are unsure how to behave in these new circumstances we hold regular Divorce Etiquette workshops.

Divorce Support

Divorce support is often best when it comes from outside. Family and friends are great as a shoulder to cry on but can be too close to give real no nonsense feedback to the difficult decisions you face. Lawyers are expensive and do not have answers to many of the topics that arise in divorce, especially the emotional questions. For more on support, have a look at the programs and services.
