Co-Parenting Coaching

Co-parenting Coaching is a supportive relationship with a coach whose job it is to work closely with you to get through your family law matter without suffering more hurt or inflicting more damage on others than is necessary. In some cases, the client, the coach, and the client's attorney can work as a team to focus on the issues that are most important in your situation. Sometimes the intensity of the emotions associated with a breakup can lead people into doing things that inflict needless pain on their children and others. Because your coach has your best interest at heart, you can expect your coach to let you know when you may be doing this and to be there in your corner as you work to replace unwanted behaviors with ones that will encourage a more favorable resolution.

Co-parenting Coaching is designed to help a client move through a divorce proceeding more effectively and efficiently, processing the emotional tasks that are part of divorce in tandem with the legal process. It is useful in the litigated divorce, and is part of the Collaborative Law divorce process in which lawyers and mental health professionals work as a team to provide a strategy for achieving reasonable settlement while minimizing the damage to the family.

It's most beneficial when each spouse works with a Co-parenting Coach to provide a safety net for the difficult times that may be a part of the divorce and to develop the new co-parenting relationship. This process helps spouses to recognize the end of their marriage and to move on to create fulfilling lives post divorce. When children are involved, co-parenting coaches teach divorcing parents how to best protect themselves and their children from the risks associated with divorce in the present and to look to the future needs of their family. This work also includes assisting spouses to clarify how they feel and think about issues, improve communication about sensitive topics, and to develop a parenting plan.

If you are going through a divorce, you are probably going through one of the most difficult times in your life. It can be hard to see the end of this time, when things will be normal again. Co-parenting Coaching is a valuable tool when you are going through a divorce.

Co-parenting Coaching is more goal-directed and focused than therapy, and tends to be of shorter duration. It seeks to educate the divorcing person about the stages of divorce and how the legal process can impact divorcing individuals. When there are children, relevant issues about their best interests, parenting and co-parenting are discussed. Coaching clarifies the client’s experiences in the legal system and in divorce and removes barriers to effective participation in the legal processes and life.
