DCA® CONFLICTED CO-PARENTING DIVORCE COACH

Moving Families From Chaos and Conflict To Child-Centered


Parents often worry about the impact of divorce on their children and yet ongoing parental conflict is the #1 issue that causes children to have difficultly making the adjustment. Learn to help co-parents diffuse conflict as a Conflicted Co-Parenting Divorce Coach.


Studies estimate that 80% of the family court's time is taken up by  cases where parents are unable to resolve their differences without the intervention of the legal system. And even when mom and dad aren't going to court, their day-to-day behaviors and interactions can escalate conflict which spills out onto their children.

 We can make this better for families. As a CCDC, learn to help clients reduce the cost and emotional impact of co-parenting while protecting themselves and their children from conflict.

In this course students will learn about:

🔸    Spectrum of conflicted co-parenting

🔸    What is considered "best interest of the children"

🔸    Parenting triggers and emotional management tools

🔸    Transitioning from marriage partners to business partners

🔸    Effective parenting plans

🔸    Strategic communication and boundaries

🔸    The role of professional evaluators

🔸    Case documentation and negotiation

Not all co-parenting conflict can be avoided, but you can help your client remember to ask the question: "Do I love my kids more than I hate my ex?" when making decisions. They can choose not to add fuel to the fire, to de-escalate when they are able, and present themselves in the best possible light in the event of a trial or custody evaluation.
