Why Hire a Divorce Coach and an Attorney?

Divorce attorneys frequently find that their clients need professional guidance that extends beyond their legal realm. This is where a personal divorce coach can become a critical member of your professional team. In 2013, the American Bar Association defined divorce coaching as the fourth element of the divorce process. Divorce coaches usually work alongside attorneys to help clients sift through what’s important to them in a divorce. Without someone there to remain steady, unbiased, and logical throughout the process, many clients find themselves making some grave mistakes. The attorney that is hired will be the client’s legal guide through the judicial process of the dissolution of marriage. Additionally, the majority of lawyers charge by the hour for any work they do on the client’s behalf ranging from emails, phone calls, acquiring documents, and mediation/court appearances. Clients need to make the best use of their time while dealing with their attorneys. Personal divorce coaches help clients to be efficient and move beyond their story so that they can focus on the business of divorce.
