Collaborative family law is a process in which everyone agrees to collaborate toward solutions that work for both parties. Collaborative family law is a process that takes place without going to court. All parties, including the children, benefit from the collaborative process: i) atmosphere is non-adversarial; ii) we work together toward win-win solutions; and iii) your feelings and values are honoured and respected.
Divorce Coaches are mental health professionals with specific training and expertise in the area of collaborative law.
As a credentialed mental health professional, Claire Sutton has expertise in couple and family dynamics including issues pertaining to separation and divorce. She helps her clients successfully navigate the emotional process involved in divorce by ensuring that needs, concerns and feelings (including anger and fear) are both expressed and contained. She teaches communication skills, addresses parenting concerns and helps formulate parenting plans. It is recommended that each person have their own coach to assist them during the collaborative process.
Collaborative Divorce is no court divorce. It is a new and revolutionary process in which both spouses are fully supported legally and emotionally. Please view www.collaborativedivorcebc.org.
