Our Services Cater to Every Stage of Life
Pre-Divorce Coaching
Are you unsure if divorce is the right decision for you?
Understanding what you want to achieve and setting your priorities are crucial for creating a strategic plan moving ahead. At Diamond Divorce Coaching we explore with you the emotional, financial and practical considerations of both staying in and leaving the marriage. We help clients identify their support system and resources and encourage you to think about your future goals and aspirations, while providing you with a safe and confidential space to express your true feelings and concerns. We offer support with legal and financial preparation, co-parenting strategies and emotional validation to help you make decisions that align with your long-term well being.
During Divorce Coaching
As you embark on the divorce process, Diamond Divorce Coaching is here to provide ongoing support and guidance every step of the way. Our following services are designed to help you navigate the legal proceedings, manage emotions and stay focused on your goals.
Emotional Support
Are you coping with the emotional upheaval of separating from someone who has been a significant part of your life? Experiencing a divorce following a lengthy and stable marriage can evoke a tumultuous mix of emotions, from grief and anger to relief and confusion. At Diamond Divorce Coaching, we offer a supportive environment where you can freely explore these feelings without judgment. Through our compassionate guidance, you'll receive validation and practical tools to navigate the complexities of divorce, facilitating healing and fostering a positive path forward.
Financial Guidance with Clarity and Perspective
Are you concerned about your future financial security and preserving your assets after divorce? There may be significant financial implications, especially for women who may have relied on their spouses for financial support. You may have accumulated significant assets including property, retirement savings, and investments, making the financial aspects of your divorce particularly complex. We can help you gain clarity on your financial situation, set financial goals, and create a budget that aligns with your new reality.
Legal Guidance and Resources
Do you want to use your legal team more effectively?
While divorce coaches are not attorneys and cannot provide legal advice, we can help you understand the divorce process, familiarize yourself with relevant laws and regulations, and connect you with the complete network of professionals you will need (lawyers, mediators, realtors, financial advisors, therapists, etc.) We work collaboratively with your team of legal professionals to support you throughout the divorce process. We will assist you in getting all your necessary paperwork in order and help save you time and costly legal fees.
Communication Skills
Are you navigating potential conflicts with your soon to be ex-spouse?
Effective communication is critical during the divorce process for healthy and productive relationships. We can help you develop and practice communication skills that facilitate constructive dialogue and de-escalate conflict, that may ultimately lead to smoother negotiations and a more amicable divorce settlement.
Goal Setting and Planning
Are you having difficulty adjusting in life as a single person after being part of a couple for so long?
Divorce often represents a major life transition and you may benefit from support in setting new goals and planning for the future. We can help clients clarify their values, identify their priorities, and set achievable goals for their post-divorce life, whether that involves career changes, lifestyle adjustments, or personal development. Yes, life can be good again!
Co-Parenting Support
Are you concerned about your children?
For those with children, successful co-parenting is often a top priority. We will help you establish effective communication with your ex-spouse, develop a parenting plan that prioritizes the well-being of your children and minimize conflict during interactions relating to co-parenting.
Post Divorce Coaching
Are you afraid of the future?
Divorce isn’t just the end of your marriage; it is the beginning of a new chapter in your life. We are here to help you navigate this transition and build a fulfilling future. Our post-divorce coaching services are tailored to support you as you adjust to your new reality and move forward with confidence and courage. During our post-divorce coaching sessions, we will assist you in:
Rebuilding Your Life
Divorce can leave you feeling lost and unsure of what comes next. We will help you envision the life you want to create post-divorce and develop a plan to make it a reality.
Emotional Healing
Healing from the emotional wounds of divorce takes time and self-reflection. We will provide a safe space for you to process your feelings, let go of the past and embrace the future with optimism.
Identity Reinvention
Divorce often prompts a reassessment of one’s identity and purpose, especially for women in later life who may have devoted much of their time and energy to their roles as spouses and mothers. We can help you explore who you are outside of your marriage to support you in rediscovering your passions, interests, and goals for the future.
Divorce Challenges in Later Life
Divorce among older adults have been steadily increasing over the past few decades.
Understanding the Dynamics
Later life divorces can be triggered by various factors, including:
- Empty Nest Syndrome: With children leaving home from college or starting their own lives, some couples find themselves reassessing the relationship and may choose to divorce.
- Longer Life Expectancy: Increased life expectancy means that individuals are living longer and healthier lives, leading some women to reassess their marriages and seek fulfillment in new ways.
- Financial Independence: Many women in later life have achieved greater financial independence compared to previous generations, making them more empowered to initiate divorce if they are unhappy in their marriages.
- Changing Expectations: As the societal norms and expectations around marriage and gender roles evolve, women may feel more empowered to pursue divorce if they feel their needs are not being met.
- Remarriage and Dating: Despite the challenges, many women in later life find new opportunities for love and companionship after divorce. Some statistics indicate that a significant portion of divorced women in midlife eventually remarry or enter into long-term relationships.
Impact on Women
Divorce in midlife can have significant financial, emotional and social implications for women. Some key statistics include:
- Financial Challenges: Women who divorce later in life may face financial challenges, especially they’ve been out of the workforce or relied on their spouse for financial support.
- Health Consequences: Divorce can also impact women’s physical and mental health, with some studies suggesting that divorced women may have higher rates of depression and other health issues compared to married women.
- Social Support Networks: Divorce can affect women’s social networks and support systems particularly if they have to navigate changes in friendships and family dynamics.
According to recent statistics, the divorce rate among adults in later years have doubled since the 1990s. This phenomenon presents its own set of challenges and considerations. These statistics highlight the complexity and challenges associated with divorce among women in later life, as well as the resilience and opportunity for growth that can emerge from this life transition.
