Why Referring Clients to a
Strategic Coach can only 
 Benefit Attorneys
AND
elevate their services
above and beyond
the competition. 

Divorce is often one of the most emotional and complex
legal processes your clients
will ever face.

As an attorney,
your role is to provide
expert legal guidance
and protect your client’s
best interests.
But the truth is,
Divorce isn’t just about
paperwork, negotiations,
and court proceedings.
It’s a whirlwind of emotions,
strained relationships,
and critical life decisions
that goes far beyond
the scope of legal advice.

This is where a
 Parenting/Divorce Coach 
comes in—
and why referring your clients
to one could be
one of the wisest, most strategic
moves you make as an attorney.

Free Yourself from Emotional Coaching

As a Divorce Attorney,
you’re a master at
managing legal intricacies,
but how often do you find yourself
serving as an
emotional counselor?
Calming a client’s nerves
before mediation or Court
helping them manage frustration with the opposing party’s tactics
can consume time—
time that could be better spent
on advancing the
legal aspects of their case.

Attorneys frequently find themselves navigating
high-stress situations,
managing clients’
emotional rollercoasters, and sometimes even acting as
informal therapists.

The nature of family law
means that lawyers
are constantly exposed
to conflict and personal pain,
which can lead to empathy fatigue. Listening to distressing stories, witnessing the breakdown
of relationships, and dealing
with unpredictable client behavior can create a heavy emotional toll.
Over time,
this can lead to feelings of frustration and mental exhaustion.
And it can limit the amount
of cases, you can handle
at any one time, effectively. 
It also unfairly affects
some clients’ level of satisfaction
which impacts referrals
and reviews. 
By referring your clients to a Strategic Coach
you empower them
to gain emotional stability,
clarity, and focus
during one of the most turbulent times in their lives.
The FIRST THING
your clients will be told is that
Strategic Coaches
of any discipline
ARE NOT AN ATTORNEY
and they cannot give you
 legal advice or guidance

 The National Association
of Divorced Professionals

They come in all aspects of Divorce.

Mental Health & Parenting
Coaches/Facilitators
Financial/ Real Estate/ 
Each of these Coaches are
specifically trained to help clients manage their emotions,
set realistic goals,
and make decisions that align
with their long-term well-being.
This frees you up
to concentrate on delivering
the top-notch legal expertise
your clients deserve.

Better Client Preparedness =
Smoother Legal Processes

A well-prepared client
is key to a smoother legal process.
Strategic Coaches of
many disciplines
Parenting-Blended Families
Reunification
Therapeutic, Emotional Regulation
Financial, Real Estate,
works with your clients
to help them become
more organized,
emotionally stable
and goal-driven
throughout the divorce.
They clarify priorities,
set realistic expectations,
and help build confidence
in making sound decisions.

When your clients are
mentally and emotionally ready,
they’re less likely
to make rash decisions
that can disrupt negotiations
or delay proceedings.
Instead of constantly
seeking reassurance,
your clients will approach Mediation,
Settlement Discussions
and Trial with a clear sense
of what they want—
making your job
more efficient and streamlined.

Enhance Client Satisfaction and
Reduce Complaints

Divorce isn’t just a legal process—
it’s a major life transformation.
Your clients are not only
dealing with the end of a marriage, but also navigating co-parenting,
financial upheavals,
and emotional recovery.
If their emotional needs
are left unmet,
no matter how great
your legal work is,
they might leave feeling
dissatisfied, even abandoned
When that’s not true at all.
Sometimes, they just don’t
understand the processes
or who has “what” role. 
They believe when they
pay their retainer
they assume the attorney
becomes, basically
their “personal” assistant
through every step
of the process.
Logically? 
they know you’re not
your only client
but without some trained
emotional regulation, 
they have no ability to be logical. 
Things can get personal
It IS personal to them, but
what they cannot see is
NOT personal for the attorney.
it’s their job

By referring them to a
Certified Divorce Professional

you offer a holistic solution
to their needs.
They receive emotional support,
practical advice, and guidance
on rebuilding their lives
after divorce.
This comprehensive approach
leads to happier clients
who feel their legal and personal needs were fully addressed.

Let’s face it,
when people DON’T seek out
an experienced, qualified
Family Law Attorney
The majority reason is the COST.
& that is one of the greatest mistakes they can make!

This is where, as an Attorney, 
You can advocate
not only a cost-saving solution,
but raising the quality and value
of your services,
imagine for a moment
being able to advertise:
“We’ve elevated our services
by seamlessly integrating a strategic consultant into our team,
offering clients a personalized, concierge-like experience.
This approach ensures
that every legal strategy
is not only expertly crafted,
but also uniquely tailored
to meet the specific needs
and complexities
of each client’s case—
offering both guidance
and peace of mind
throughout the legal process.”
It also takes a great deal of
energy-draining questions,
phone calls, emails & texts.
ALL of which clients either don’t understand or can’t control themselves cost MONEY
& continually having to  replenish
the Retainer creates 
a potentially hostile or hopeless
response and exaggerates
the clients’ decision-making 
& relationship with the Attorney. 

Satisfied clients are
more likely to refer others
to your services,
boosting your reputation
and generating positive reviews.

Less Drama,
More Results

Divorce is notorious
for emotional outbursts
and unnecessary conflict. Unchecked emotions can
derail negotiations
and make your job as an attorney far more difficult.

CHOOSING A DIVORCE PROFESSIONAL 
with experience in Coaching/Counseling, 
Complex Parenting dynamics
& Blended Family Mediation
helps your clients
manage these emotions,
preventing impulsive decisions
or overly adversarial behavior.

With the emotional drama in check, you can focus on the legal issues that matter most.
Settlement discussions
often become smoother,
faster and more cost-effective when emotions are well-managed—
ultimately benefiting
everyone involved.

Distinguish Your Practice

In a competitive field
of family law,
offering something
more than legal expertise
can set you apart.
By referring clients to a
Parenting & Divorce Strategist
you provide a resource
that goes beyond the courtroom.

In a collaborative law case,
A Parenting & Divorce Strategist
plays a key role
in helping families navigate the emotional and practical challenges of divorce while keeping the focus on creating healthy outcomes for both parents and children.

Imagine you’re sitting at a table
with lawyers, financial experts,
and therapists,
all committed to resolving
the divorce in a respectful,
non-adversarial way.
This is where the strategist shines!
Their job is to help parents collaborate, even if
emotions are running high,
and design a roadmap for
co-parenting
that minimizes conflict
and prioritizes the
well-being of the children.

They step in as a guide and coach, helping parents understand
their own emotional triggers,
communicate more effectively,
and make decisions  that serve
the family’s long-term future.
Rather than allowing resentment
or frustration to cloud judgment,
The Strategist encourages a more cooperative approach—
one that helps both parties feel heard and respected.

In practical terms,
they might help
create parenting schedules
that balance both parents’ needs and lifestyles,
advise on how to handle
transitions for the children,
or even assist in
setting boundaries
that support co-parenting
without unnecessary drama.
They can also teach
conflict resolution techniques, giving parents
the tools to handle disagreements without going back to court.

In short,
a Parenting and Divorce Strategist
in a collaborative law case helps build a bridge between parents, allowing them to move forward
with a plan that honors
their roles as co-parents
while keeping the peace
for the sake of their children.
It’s all about empowering
both parties to make thoughtful, compassionate decisions
because even though
the marriage is ending,
the family continues
in a new form.

Offering this concierge service demonstrates that you understand
the full scope of what
your clients are going through
and care about more
than just the legal outcome.

Not only does this
elevate your practice
and set you apart
from competitors,
but it also opens up
the possibility of referrals
from satisfied clients
and divorce strategists who recognize your
dedication to holistic client care.
