Collaborative Divorce Services

Collaborative divorce is different than traditional divorce. It’s generally far less acrimonious and involves a team of professionals. That team can be as large or small as you want, but can include a mediator, coaches for both adults, a child specialist and a financial specialist—this is the “full team model.” Dr. Ahrons has years of experience with collaborative divorce and is a member of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals.

Some couples choose a modified approach, using a mediator and a coach. For couples that are fairly amicable, this is a more expedient and less costly approach to divorce.

Dr. Ahrons can act as a coach for either adult, for both adults, or as a coach representing the well being of the entire family. As an individual or couple’s coach, she can assist with communication during the divorce, enabling both adults to problem solve without excessive conflict.

In the one-coach model, Dr. Ahrons is the family specialist, working with both spouses and the children, helping the family manage the changes that are needed to become a dual-household healthy family. As a family coach Dr. Ahrons will recommend ways the ex-spouses can work together so that they best serve their children’s needs, and works with parents on problem-solving. She can help the couple work out details like living arrangements, custody issues, dating and step-families, all with a focus on what is best for the children and the family.
