Welcome to the Divorce Coaches Institute Australia
DCIA aims to set a professional standard for divorce coaching, ensuring that individuals going through separation and divorce receive skilled guidance.
While legal professionals provide essential legal guidance, many separating individuals struggle with the emotional turmoil, decision-making, and communication challenges that come with divorce.
Our dedicated coaches are professionally trained in Alternative Dispute Resolution practices to provide support and guidance through challenging times.
We understand the importance of professional standards and ethics in assisting clients through separation or divorce, and we are here to help all Australians.
How Divorce Coaches assist clients
Divorce coaches play a crucial role in guiding clients through the complexities of separation and divorce. Their support includes
-
Helping clients manage anxiety, stress, and emotional upheaval.
-
Providing clarity on key decisions such as parenting plans, financial arrangements, and legal considerations
-
Coaching clients to engage in constructive conversations with their ex-partners, reducing hostility and misunderstandings.
-
Helping parents navigate shared parenting responsibilities while minimizing conflict for the well-being of their children.
-
Educating clients on the divorce process, including mediation, parenting coordination, and court procedures, so they can make informed decisions.
-
Preparing individuals to successfully participate in mediation by providing personalised dispute resolutions skills and tools needed to:
Understand the mediation process
Choose the right mediator or family dispute resolution practitioner
Communicate, negotiate and advocate
Act and think strategically
Develop and respond to proposals
Minimise conflict and solve problems
Get to agreement
The necessity of engaging trained ADR Divorce coaches
To truly support clients in reaching amicable resolutions, divorce coaches must be well-versed in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods due to:
-
Equipping coaches with mediation and negotiation skills reduces the need for costly and adversarial court battle
-
ADR-trained divorce coaches can guide clients toward constructive problem-solving rather than escalating conflicts.
-
Conflict resolution skills enable divorce coaches to assist parents in prioritizing the best interests of their children
-
Training in ADR ensures that divorce coaches operate within a structured, ethical framework, collaborating effectively with legal professionals and family dispute resolution practitioners
