Develop Your Divorce Support Team

Apr 7, 2015 | Divorce Process

Divorce involves a lot more than just getting the legal paperwork done. It affects so many areas of your life, and the lives of your family.

If you hire attorneys, they will give you legal representation, but will they help you find ways to cope with the emotions surrounding your divorce? If you try to do it on your own using an online legal document service, will you get information on how to talk with your children about the divorce? Where can you get the support you need to plan how to reduce the negative impacts on you and your family during and after the divorce?

Divorce With Dignity is a divorce planning and facilitation service dedicated to not only helping divorcing couples with their legal paperwork, but also to assisting them to develop a divorce support “team”. We offer a safe place to talk about your unique situation so we can understand how we can best help you. In addition to the many services we can provide, we also have a wealth of trusted referrals for other services you may need to get through your divorce in the best way possible and create a positive future.

Your divorce support team could include professionals in the following areas:

  • Legal Support
  • Emotional Support
  • Financial Planning Support
  • Coaching Support
  • Support for your Children

 

Legal Support  – If you have a Divorce With Dignity office near you (https://www.dwdignity.com/all-providers/), we can help you fill out the legal paperwork and file them with the courts. We can also help you and your spouse negotiate a fair divorce settlement agreement. If there are some issues that need more in-depth work, we have mediators we can recommend. There may also be some issues that require legal advice; in that case, we can refer you to attorneys who will contract with you for just that specific work.

Emotional Support  – It’s great if you have family and friends who can support you through this difficult time. But if you need additional help, we can connect you with a therapist who specializes in divorce issues and recovery. Divorce support groups can also be beneficial, and we can help you find those.

Financial Planning Support – Whether you have lots of assets, debts and tax considerations, or if you just need to figure out your financial status and how you will manage to live on less income while you rebuild your life, we have referrals for you. From certified public accountants and certified divorce financial analysts, to financial coaches and credit counselors, we can assist you to find the services best suited to your needs.

Coaching Support – Like an athletic coach, a divorce coach can help you figure out your goals and develop a plan to achieve them, giving you support each step of the way. The focus is on the future and creating the new life you want.

Support for Your Children – Whether or not your children show it, divorce is a very stressful event for them. Many of them think the divorce is their fault, but may not express that to you. Get them some help. We can put you in touch with family therapists, and direct you to organizations that focus on helping kids through family difficulties.

Divorce is never easy, but we at Divorce With Dignity are committed to helping you get through it in the best way possible, with peace and dignity. If you have decided that divorce is the best choice for you, contact your local Divorce With Dignity office (https://www.dwdignity.com/all-providers/) and let us help you assemble your personal Divorce Support Team.

I believe that we are much better off making our own decisions about our private lives, instead of leaving it in the hands of the legal system.
