Divorce Services

Separation and divorce are in the top 3 most stressful life events one can experience, but you are not alone.

If you are in the early stages of the divorce process, KKJ offers services to enable you and your partner to end your marriage with dignity and compassion for one another. We can help you move forward from your divorce, enable you and your partner to communicate about information pertinent to the divorce, and assist you in developing your own parenting plan.

We know that adversarial litigation is ill suited for resolving most parenting disputes. Effective alternatives must consider the psychological and emotional issues that are involved with divorce. Effective resolution addresses the legal, financial, and emotional issues related to obtaining a divorce.

Every divorce is complicated and difficult to navigate. You can reduce the emotional stress and practical difficulties by working with someone who can help you choose how to design your divorce process. Our goal is to keep you out of court, and to keep your family functioning well, when you have to utilize the court system.

What is a team approach?
This means that you will always have two minds on the case. This approach helps clinicians maintain neutrality and discuss various perspectives. It allows for efficient and thorough information gathering. And, it mimics the health care system's whole person approach to care.

Collaborative Divorce: Coach and Child Specialist
Collaborative divorce is a process where both parties sign an agreement not to go to court. The process focuses on the interests and needs of the parents and children, maintains relationships, and protects the privacy of everyone involved. As Collaborative Divorce Coaches and Child Specialists, we can help support you, and help you develop a parenting plan with your Collaborative Divorce attorney.

Mediation
Mediation is a dynamic, structured, interactive process where a neutral third party assists disputing parties in resolving conflict through the use of specialized communication and negotiation techniques. Mediation is primarily focused upon the needs, rights, and interests of the parties. The main goal of mediation is to open and improve communication between parties so they can come to an agreement and put an end to the conflict. Mediation can help you make important decisions for your family in a safe space. You will have autonomy, be able to express your perspective, articulate your feelings, obtain information, explore options, and formulate a proposal while being treated with respect.

Reunification Therapy Team
Reunification therapy is designed to repair parent-child relationships and help children have healthy relationships with both parents. Reunification therapy is often court-ordered due to the child refusing to spend time with one parent. Such refusal tends to occur after the parents have separated or divorced, resulting in a favored parent and a rejected parent. This means that the child has formed an alliance with one parent and has excluded the other. Therefore, the goal of reunification therapy is for the therapist to help reunify the child and rejected parent, to help transform the polarized good and bad beliefs and attitudes of family members, and help the parents implement appropriate parenting and co-parenting roles in order to support the child’s overall development.
