Divorce Conflict Support
A divorce guide is your support person. They have divorce process knowledge and can help you make sense of what sometimes feels like a messy or chaotic situation.
What is a Divorce Guide?
Whether you are self-represented, use unbundled legal services, have a limited scope retainer or have retained a lawyer, it’s important to have someone in your circle that is a calm voice of reason, who helps you make clear decisions and choices about next steps, and can help you be more efficient and cost effective when meeting with your lawyer.
Many people have friends or family who can be their anchor, or their rock. But when you feel you don’t have that, or you need someone on the outside who also has knowledge and experience in divorce processes, a divorce guide is an option.
A Divorce Guide can help you:
- Organize documents
- Problem solve through different conflict support strategies
- Give you practical suggestions on how to manage conflict with your former spouse
- Identify triggers, problem solve solutions
- Identify which professionals would be most helpful to consult next
- Organize your thoughts for meetings with your lawyers
- If needed, will attend meetings with your lawyers as a support person; sometimes you might just need a calm clear person to sit beside you to help you feel calmer and more clear; sometimes you might need someone to go through a list of questions you need answers to but feel too emotional to ask or listen well, and/or you need someone to take notes
