When families face separation or major transitions, a more peaceful, cooperative approach can be more effective than adversarial conflict.

In Collaborative Coaching, you and your partner (or former partner) work together—each with your coach or counselor—to resolve issues with respect, dignity, and transparency, rather than resorting to lengthy conflict.

What is Collaborative Coaching?

  • You and your partner each engage with your own counselor or coach, and commit to a collaborative agreement to work together toward a solution.

  • The goal is to reach agreements without conflict or legal warfare, while preserving relationships, dignity, and respect.

  • If the process doesn’t lead to resolution, all participants agree beforehand on alternative paths to resolution.

  • Rather than adversaries, you become collaborators seeking the best future outcome for your whole family.

Why Choose This Path?

  • Less conflict, more respect – Avoid the stress, expense, and emotional toll of traditional adversarial approaches.

  • Custom solutions – You create outcomes tailored to your family’s unique needs, rather than a court imposing decisions.

  • Better for children – A collaborative process fosters healthier communication and model behavior for kids.

  • Control & empowerment – You keep control over decisions and retain agency in shaping your post-transition life.

Process Overview

  1. Commitment & Agreement
    Both parties agree to a collaborative framework—a shared commitment to honesty, openness, and mutual respect.

  2. Exploration & Discovery
    Each person is encouraged to share their story, values, wants, and concerns in safe, guided sessions.

  3. Joint Sessions & Problem-Solving
    You meet (together or in combination) to explore options, negotiate, and make decisions with guidance from professionals.

  4. Finalizing Agreements
    Once decisions are settled on parenting, finances, property, or communication, you create formal agreements that respect all parties.

Who This Is For

Is Collaborative Coaching Right for You?

This approach works best when both parties are willing to engage openly and act in good faith. If there is high conflict, safety concerns, or unwillingness to commit to collaboration, alternate approaches may be better suited.
