Family Law - Divorce Coaching

In addition to our legal services, we also offer DIvorce Coaching services to clients who need assistance understanding the litigation process and how to interact with their lawyer to minimize legal costs and help maximize the effectiveness of your legal representation.  

Divorce Coaching does not include any legal advice or legal services, but is focussed on assisting people dealing efficiently with their lawyer.

Jill McLennan is a senior paralegal at Joyce Law with a decade of experience in family law.  

Relationship breakdown has many extraordinary challenges including both legal and emotional. Whether you are contemplating separation or are already part way through the process, Jill can assist you with such things as:

• Pre-emptive considerations;
• Assist in finding a lawyer suited for your situation and financial budget;
• Preparing your materials and story in a clear and concise manner for your legal counsel as well as aiding to ensure your lawyer is receiving the documents and information they are requesting of you;
• Help frame your questions for your lawyer;
• Assist in communications with a goal of being clear and concise as well as reducing conflict where it exists;
• Teasing out the difference between a legal issue and an emotional one such that you are directing issues to the right resources; and
• Keeping you organized though the process as the volume of documents can be overwhelming.

Separation and divorce can be a confusing journey for many people and having a Divorce Coach as part of your team can help demystify the process as well as reduce the stress and anxiety associated with legal proceedings.

While not giving legal advice, Jill can work with you and your lawyer with the aim of giving you a sense of empowerment and control over your own process.
