Where you need encouragement I bring hope, trauma-informed coaching, and a strategy mindset.
Who’s in your corner?
With over ten years experience in the family court battlefield, I can look at your case from a neutral, third party perspective and see things with fresh eyes to improve your effectiveness in court or during assessments.
Throughout my personal and professional life, I have been described as calm, determined and focused. Certified as a High Conflict Divorce Coach under Tina Swithin, CEO/Founder of One Mom’s Battle, I have dedicated my career to raising awareness of intimate partner violence and its impact on victims.
I am committed to amplifying the voice of victims so that children’s best interests are prioritized in family court.
With a Bachelor of Commerce, specialized training as a Parenting Coordinator, certification as a High-Conflict Divorce Coach, and more than 15 years of experience in financial services, I understand the importance of preparation, strategic planning, and clear goal setting in navigating family law matters.
Equally essential are ongoing support, assembling the right professional team, and understanding the dynamics of the opposing party. I understand the emotional, financial and practical challenges that arise in these processes having been required to appear pro se (self-represented) at various points in my own case. This perspective allows me to combine professional expertise with lived experience to better support clients through complex, high-conflict situations.
Your case is sensitive in nature - I bring understanding, compassion and empathy.
The family courts often label cases that last more than one to two years as “high conflict”. The label presumes that both parents involved are angry and fuelling the litigation process. It has now been proven that family court files classified as “high conflict” often have one parent who has emotionally disengaged from the former partner while the other parent has a mental illness or personality disorder such as narcissism (or other Cluster-B personality disorders) and remains fixated on perceived injustices and grievances.
It is with this awareness that I understand familial dynamics such as these deserve unique and careful handling by family court professionals because the safety and well-being of children are a concern. We now know that it does not always take ‘two to tango’ in family court where there is a power imbalance, personality disorder or domestic violence.
Your case is sensitive in nature - I bring understanding, compassion and empathy.
Where you need encouragement, I bring hope, trauma informed coaching, and a strategy mindset.
“A.S. Custody & Divorce Consulting has been a huge source of support for me during the most stressful year of my life. Her guidance has been invaluable for my upcoming court case.
A divorce coach helps navigate issues and she has done this and more! Her advice in dealing with matters in a calm and steady manner has given me perspective when I needed it the most. From strategy to parenting advice she was there when I needed her. Her attention to detail and researching the history of my case gives me validation and confidence that my voice will be heard. Her personal experience in dealing with the same issues I faced during a separation and divorce is comforting.
She gets it!
