Getting through the divorce process on your own is not just highly complicated, but also fraught with a whole heap of emotional and sometimes physical turmoil. Most people going through a breakup or divorce seek the services of an attorney with an American Bar Association certification. While it’s essential to have a trusted attorney on your side, using them for some of the stages of a divorce isn’t just unnecessary but can also become incredibly expensive.

For those looking for someone to guide them through dispute resolution and to provide objective opinions that will help to make them to make the best possible decision, divorce coaching could be the answer.

A divorce coach makes an excellent addition to the team of professionals that helps you to get through your divorce. They are more cost-effective and will provide information and advice on a whole host of different aspects, from financial to legal, emotional, and much more.

Why hire a divorce coach?

Getting a professional team together to look after your particular interests and needs during the divorce process shouldn’t be underestimated. The people and professionals you surround yourself with at this time won’t just have an impact on the right now, but also on your future. This could be in financial, mental, and physical wellbeing aspects.

Divorce coaches offer a cost-effective option to get unique emotional and financial advice. They offer a flexible goal-orientated process designed specifically to get you through the divorce process and towards the future you want for yourself.

Unlike an attorney, they aren’t going to charger per-minute for calls and meetings and will be able to support you in a more emotional manner and divorce coach rates are a lot more affordable than using your attorney. Keep in mind, that a divorce coach is not a therapist and rather than unpacking the past, they will work with you to set attainable goals to strive towards in the long and short term. Divorce coaches guide people going through a life-changing event in order to attain the ultimate goal of collaborative divorce or conscious uncoupling, where both partners leave the relationship without doing emotional damage to each other or their children.

What to look for in a divorce coach

Finding a divorce coach can be as simple as typing “Divorce coach near me” in Google, however, you don’t want to jump the gun and hire the first person who pops up. Finding the right person to guide you through the divorce process is essential and here are just some of the things you should ask and consider when you are looking for a divorce coach.

Qualifications

When you’re looking for a certified divorce coach, it’s important that you keep in mind that everyone has different backgrounds and specialities. Some divorce coaches come from financial backgrounds and would be great dealing with monetary issues in the divorce, while others are better at helping you with mediation out of court and so on. It’s important to find a divorce coach that has the qualifications and experience in what you need them for most. At Naked Divorce, we have a team of Divorce Coaches from different backgrounds to help you across the whole journey of divorce.

Personality

As with any profession, it’s important that you get along with your divorce coach. Remember that you are going to be baring a lot of raw emotions with this person and they are going to get to grip with some pretty intimate details of your past relationship. It’s so important that you connect with them on a personal level if you want it to work on a professional level too.

This is a great time to check out their reviews and past client recommendations to see how other people feel about them.

Process

You’re going to be going through a divorce with this person at your side and you need to make sure that you know what their process is like to see if it’s something that you will be comfortable doing. Ask them to walk you through their process and about the biggest challenges that their clients generally face. Ask what you should expect when you first meet them and how you will set goals and measure progress. How long do their clients normally stay with them? Are they flexible in terms of time and do they offer in-person services only, or could you do a telephone or video coaching service? These are all good questions to ask in order to find out exactly what their process is and if it is going to suit you.

Services

All divorce coaches are not the same. Some might offer simple coaching during a divorce, some offer coaching afterwards, some are more finance involved and so on. Try find someone that is going to go above and beyond to motivate you to know your goals out of the park.
