Separation & Divorce

Does it feel like no one else has ever felt the pain that you are feeling? You may be having tremendous feelings of loss, fear, anger, hurt, and sadness and I’m here to tell you that even though you may feel confused and in a state of shock, there is life after divorce.

Whether you are thinking about separating, or are in the process of getting a divorce, or have split up a few or even many years ago there are numerous challenges to be faced.  Building a life after divorce is as demanding or even more so, than building a marriage. The stress of separation or divorce can be overwhelming for both you and your children.

The challenges you may be facing involve:

• Coping with the strong, often confusing emotions typically brought on by the process
• dealing with the many decisions that need to be made
• preparing your children for the breakup and to support them through the crisis;
• communicating with your ex-partner
• how to co-parent with your ex-partner
• single-parenting;
• re-dating to remarriage;
• forming a successful stepfamily

I am here to lead you through this crucial transition; to prepare you for the journey ahead.  I will guid you towards creating a new beginning for you and your children.  There are better ways to end marriages where you can have a fresh start even though the challenges are numerous and often seem insurmountable.  Divorce can be a time of healing, increased self-awareness and an opportunity to turn uncertainty into new possibilities for your future.

The process during and after divorce can leave you feeling emotionally bankrupt; divorce doesn't have to be an adversarial process where there are winners and losers. There are other alternatives such as divorce coaching, parenting coaching or family mediation.

At Innovative Family Solutions I offer coaching and mediation services to help parents stay out of the court system and to also keep the cost of separation and divorce manageable.  These services are focused on assisting you in figuring out the practical realities of divorce as you transition towards creating a life after divorce.
