Divorce Coaching

Practical Support and Clearer Next Steps Before, During, and After Divorce

Divorce is more than a legal process. It can affect your emotions, parenting, finances, relationships, home, and ability to make confident decisions.

You may have an attorney handling the legal issues but still feel overwhelmed by everything happening between appointments. You may be considering divorce and need help organizing your thoughts. You may be struggling with communication, co-parenting, or adjusting to life after the legal process has ended.

Divorce Coaching provides a private, structured, and judgment-free space to slow things down, identify what matters most, and determine your next practical step.

Martin Kendall, DCA® Certified ADR Divorce Coach, works with individuals before, during, and after divorce. You do not need to be represented by Christina White Legal LLC to work with Martin. Coaching is available whether you have another attorney, are currently unrepresented, or do not have an active court case.

Does This Sound Familiar?

Divorce coaching may be helpful if:

• You feel overwhelmed and do not know what to address first.
• You have an attorney but need more practical or emotional support between legal appointments.
• You struggle to organize your thoughts, documents, questions, or priorities before speaking with your attorney.
• Messages from your spouse or co-parent leave you angry, anxious, or unsure how to respond.
• You repeatedly revisit the same conflict without making progress.
• You want to communicate more calmly and effectively during a high-conflict separation.
• You are preparing for mediation or an important conversation and want to approach it with greater clarity.
• You are concerned about how separation or divorce is affecting your children.
• You are trying to establish a workable co-parenting relationship.
• You are considering divorce but feel stuck, conflicted, or uncertain about your next step.
• Your divorce is complete, but you are struggling to adjust, rebuild, or move forward.

You do not need to have everything figured out before contacting a Divorce Coach. Coaching is intended to help you identify what you can control, clarify what you want to accomplish, and take manageable steps forward.

How Divorce Coaching Can Help

Every client’s circumstances are different. Your coaching sessions will focus on the challenges, decisions, and goals that matter most to you.

Prepare More Effectively

Organize your thoughts, questions, concerns, and priorities before meetings with your attorney, mediator, or other divorce professionals. Better preparation may help you use professional appointments more purposefully and avoid spending valuable legal time processing issues that do not require legal advice.

Communicate More Intentionally

Develop practical strategies for difficult conversations and written communications. Coaching can help you pause before reacting, consider the purpose of your message, and communicate in a way that is clearer, calmer, and more focussed.

Manage Conflict

Identify recurring conflict patterns, understand what may be escalating them, and consider different ways to respond. The goal is not to control the other person. It is to help you make deliberate choices about your own actions and communication.

Clarify Your Priorities

Divorce can make every issue feel equally urgent. Coaching helps you separate immediate concerns from longer-term goals, identify what matters most, and prepare to make your own informed decisions.

Navigate Co-Parenting Challenges

Explore practical, child-focused approaches to communication, transitions, boundaries, and parenting across two homes. Coaching can help you remain focused on your children’s needs while managing a difficult or changing co-parenting relationship.

Move Forward After Divorce

The end of the court case does not always bring an immediate sense of closure. Coaching can support you as you adjust to new routines, rebuild confidence, establish goals, and begin shaping the next stage of your life.

Meet Martin Kendall

Martin Kendall is a DCA® Certified ADR Divorce Coach at Christina White Legal LLC. His approach combines specialized divorce-coaching training, daily experience within a family-law practice, a background in negotiation and process management, and personal experience with separation, co-parenting, and blended-family life.

Before entering the family-law field, Martin spent eight years working as a Quantity Surveyor in the United Kingdom. That career required careful preparation, conflict management, negotiation, and the ability to bring structure to complicated situations. These skills now inform his calm, practical, and solution-focused approach to Divorce Coaching.

Martin understands that clients do not always need someone to tell them what to do. Sometimes they need a thoughtful professional who will listen without judgment, help them understand what is keeping them stuck, and support them as they identify their own next step.

His role is to help you become more prepared, intentional, and confident—not to make decisions for you.

How Divorce Coaching Works

Complimentary Discovery Call – 20 Minutes

Your first step is a complimentary 20-minute telephone call with Martin.

This brief conversation gives you an opportunity to explain what has led you to seek support, learn more about Divorce Coaching, and determine whether Martin’s approach is a good fit for your needs.

The Discovery Call is not a coaching session or a legal consultation. You will not be asked to commit to further sessions.

Individual Coaching Session – $180

Each individual coaching session lasts 55 minutes and focuses on the concern, decision, conversation, or goal that is most important to you at that time.

You may book one session when you need focused support or schedule additional sessions as your circumstances develop.

Four-Session Coaching Package – $650

The four-session package is designed for clients who want structured, ongoing support through a particular stage of separation, divorce, co-parenting, or rebuilding.

The package includes four 55-minute individual coaching sessions and represents a saving compared with booking each session separately.

Divorce Coaching, Legal Advice, and Therapy

Divorce Coaching complements the work of attorneys, mediators, therapists, and financial professionals, but it does not replace them.

Martin is not acting as your attorney and does not provide legal advice or legal representation through coaching. Legal questions should be discussed with a licensed attorney. If you already have an attorney, coaching can help you become better organized and prepared to work with them.

Divorce Coaching is also not therapy or mental-health treatment. Coaching focuses primarily on your present circumstances, future goals, practical choices, communication, and actions. If your needs fall outside the appropriate scope of coaching, Martin may encourage you to seek support from another qualified professional.

Although coaching conversations are handled with care and privacy in accordance with the coaching agreement and applicable firm policies, they are not protected by attorney-client privilege solely because the coaching service is offered through Christina White Legal LLC.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be a client of Christina White Legal LLC?

No. You may work with Martin if you are represented by Christina White Legal LLC, represented by another attorney, currently unrepresented, or do not have an active legal case.

Can Martin tell me what I should do legally?

No. Martin does not provide legal advice through Divorce Coaching. He can help you organize your questions, clarify your priorities, and prepare to discuss legal issues with your attorney.

Can I work with a Divorce Coach if I already have an attorney?

Yes. Many people seek coaching because they need practical and personal support that is separate from their attorney’s legal role. Coaching may help you prepare more effectively for attorney meetings and use your legal time more purposefully.

Do I have to purchase a package?

No. You may begin with one individual 55-minute session. The four-session package is available for clients who prefer continuing, structured support.

How many sessions will I need?

There is no required number. Some clients want focused assistance with one immediate issue, while others benefit from ongoing support during a particular stage of divorce or co-parenting. You and Martin can discuss what best fits your needs and goals.

Is Divorce Coaching only for people currently going through court proceedings?

No. Coaching can be helpful when you are considering divorce, during separation or legal proceedings, while establishing a co-parenting relationship, or after the divorce has been completed.
