Divorce Options: Helping your Client Navigate the Emotional Impact of Divorce Part 1

Presented By: Randy Cheek, LMFT, Collaborative Divorce Coaching, Co-Parent Counselor

How would you work with a client who thinks they have a better relationship with the children than the other parent and should have a greater portion of timeshare?

Your client says “I am the parent who makes certain the children do their homework and extracurricular activities therefore the children should be with me”. How might you respond?

Your client is struggling with choosing an attorney after hearing from friends. They are also afraid to initiate divorce proceedings because they are not sure what approach might work for them. How could you assist them?

Divorce Options is a program offered to the public throughout California. It is offered in Santa Rosa on the second Saturday of the month for people considering divorce. Randy Cheek, LMFT, has taught the Divorce Options program at state, national and international conferences, and will help us understand how to better serve our clients facing divorce.
