Why Consulting a Divorce Coach Before a Lawyer Is Crucial to this Journey

With the arrival of the New Year and the tradition of setting resolutions, a global trend has emerged – January has unofficially become known as the International Month of Divorce. 

This period often begins with the holiday season where family gatherings and festive events bring underlying relationship problems to the forefront, magnifying existing marital strains, leading some couples to reassess their situation. 

Following the Holiday season comes January,  a time to evaluate our life goals. Although people never envisage their marriage ending when they first make their vows, individuals in a fractious marriage often see the onset of the new year as an opportunity for new beginnings, including ending marriages that no longer resonate with their personal values. Conversely, some might find themselves in the unexpected challenge of their marriage ending, the decision being taken out of their hands. 

Navigating the emotional, practical, financial and logistical challenges of a divorce can be a taxing ordeal. One Life Coaching is here to provide the support and guidance you need, leading you towards a more fulfilling and happier life post-divorce.

Seeking Guidance Through the Complex Journey of Divorce and Separation

If you are facing divorce as your new reality, you probably will be feeling lost, anxious and most importantly fearful of what is to come. This sense of uncertainty is no doubt overwhelming. Navigating the complexities of divorce and separation is daunting! This may prompt you into a hasty decision to consult a lawyer in order to mitigate your anxieties and fears. This is when it is most crucial to seek proper guidance from a professional who can help you navigate all the complexities of divorce, not just the legal part.

Rather than concentrating only on the legal dimensions, it’s beneficial to seek advice from someone well-versed in all the nuances of divorce. This approach helps in addressing not just the legalities, but also the emotional and practical aspects of the situation.

1. Shifting the Focus: From Panic to Informed Decision-Making

Running straight to a lawyer in the hope of alleviating anxieties and panic is a common response. However, taking a step back to focus on understanding your emotional, practical, and financial needs, your long-term goals, as well as the needs of your children, can lead to more informed decision-making.

Our experienced Divorce Coaches at One Life Coaching will provide the support and guidance necessary to help you navigate the complexities involved. They will empower you to make well-informed decisions and face the challenges ahead with resilience.

3. Seeking Guidance: A Crucial First Step

In the midst of this turmoil, it’s crucial to resist the urge to rush straight to a lawyer.

Before pursuing legal action, our Divorce Coaches assist you in taking proactive steps to address the issues arising from a marriage that has broken down. Through strategic planning, we help you make the necessary decisions that align with your long-term mental, physical, and financial well-being.

4. Prioritizing Emotional Well-being: For Yourself and Your Children

When children are part of the equation, it’s crucial to thoughtfully maneuver through these challenges with their welfare in mind.
