Divorce Consultation
You Don't Have to Figure This Out Alone
If you're facing divorce and have no idea where to begin — what it costs, how long it takes, what your options even are — this consultation was made for that moment.
In one 60-minute session, you'll go from overwhelmed to oriented. We'll walk through the different types of divorce, what each path looks like for families like yours, and help you leave with a clear sense of direction — not more confusion.
If You're Searching for Answers, You've Probably Already Tried…
…reading articles that contradict each other, asking friends who went through messy divorces, worrying about costs you can't yet predict, wondering what divorce will do to your kids, feeling paralyzed because every decision feels permanent.
Our consultation cuts through the noise, fear, and guesswork.
In your consultation, we'll cover each type of divorce option available in Seattle, WA and which fits your situation.
Not sure which path fits you? That's what we figure out together.
What We Cover in Your 60-Minute Divorce Consultation
This isn't an introductory sales call — it's a working session. Here's what we'll move through together:
-
Most people don't know there are multiple paths — kitchen table, mediation, collaborative divorce, litigation, court. We'll walk through each one: how it works, what it costs, how long it typically takes, and who it's best suited for.
-
We start by understanding where you are — who’s in your family, what support your family needs, what you're most worried about, and what decisions feel most urgent right now.
-
Level of conflict, children's ages, financial complexity, communication between spouses — we'll look at your specific circumstances and help you understand which options are realistic for you.
-
Whatever is keeping you up at night — bring it. There are no bad questions here.
A Few Things Worth Knowing
Coming together works best — but starting alone is perfectly fine.
As a neutral professional, I create space for both perspectives to be heard equally. Some people begin this conversation solo first, and that's okay too.
This is a reduced-fee session — not a watered-down one. At $100 (regularly $300), this session is intentionally accessible. The goal is to give you real, meaningful guidance from the very first conversation — not a preview that leaves you with more questions.
No commitment required. Attending this consultation doesn't lock you into any process or ongoing services. It's simply a space to get clear — and decide what's right for you from a more informed place.

The session is $100 — reduced from our standard rate of $300/hour. This is a full 60-minute working session, not a brief introductory call. The reduced rate exists because we believe you deserve real guidance from the very first conversation, before you've committed to anything.
-
We'll cover your current situation, walk through the different types of divorce available to you (kitchen table, court, arbitration, litigation, mediation, collaborative divorce), discuss what each path typically costs and how long it takes, and help you identify which options make the most sense for your family. You'll also have time to ask whatever questions are on your mind.

-
We end every session with a clear plan — not a stack of homework, but a concrete next step that fits your situation. Depending on where you are in the process, that might look like establishing a temporary parenting plan or financial arrangement before lawyers get involved, building out your collaborative divorce team, or identifying the right legal path and what it takes to get started. You won't leave wondering what to do next.
-
No preparation is required. If you have specific questions or concerns you want to make sure we cover, feel free to jot them down — but you can also come in with nothing and we'll guide the conversation from there.
-
I'll give you honest, informed guidance based on your specific circumstances — including factors like level of conflict, children's needs, financial complexity, and communication between spouses. Ultimately the decision is yours, but you won't be making it in the dark.
-
Yes. What you share in this session is kept confidential in accordance with professional standards. If both spouses attend, please note that this is a coaching consultation, not therapy, and confidentiality applies to the session as a whole rather than to each individual separately.
-
My standard rate is $300/hour with no retainer required — you pay per session as we go. If you move forward with the collaborative divorce process, the other professionals on your team (attorneys, financial specialist) bill independently at their own rates. I can help you understand what to expect from the full team during our consultation.
-
This consultation isn't marriage counseling — we won't be working on your relationship here. But if you're nearly certain divorce is coming and just can't picture what the other side looks like, this is exactly the right place to start. Understanding your options can make the decision feel less terrifying — and help you move forward with clarity, whatever you decide.
