Preparing for Divorce

Adina Laver, M.Ed, MBA, CPC

Divorce & Life Coach, Main Line Family Law Center

As a life empowerment coach, Adina works with clients who are in the process of separating, getting a divorce, or are in any other way undergoing a significant change or transformation in their lives, and who want to engage in this experience consciously and with integrity.

Adina's primary goal is to work with clients who are willing to consider that while change often comes with great discomfort, it also enables opportunities to emerge.

Listen in and start to navigate your path with focus, dignity, and confidence.

When preparing for divorce, the most painful and frightening thought a parent can have is, "What am I doing to my children?" The overwhelming guilt can be, well, unbearable.

Your children are your greatest asset. How do you keep them safe from the emotional hurt?

A healthy divorce means putting your children first in your decisions.  But how do you do that?

Find out what exactly you need to know - to be the best parent you can be - for your kids- as you prepare for divorce.

• Better understand divorce law and legal terms related to child custody so you can assert yourself.
• Learn about parenting agreements - who writes them and how they protect your children
• Explore how to talk to kids of all ages (dependent and adults) about divorce in a healthy way.
• Get ideas for custody arrangements and considerations and determine what is best for your family situation
• Begin to work from your strengths as a mom or dad, so you can be an even better parent through the divorce- even in separate households.

Most important, you'll leave this call feeling relieved - to know that your kids can thrive through divorce and beyond
