Free Download: Resources for High Conflict Divorce Cases

Divorce can be prickly. 

Choosing to end a marriage can be one of the most difficult choices a family can make...even if it was the absolute right choice in the end. And for a family with kids, divorce is monumental.  For kids, life as they know it is over.  It wasn’t their choice or their fault, but they are caught in the middle of very adult decisions. 

And it’s likely that each parent has a story to tell and an opinion about what should happen next. With things like child support, custody, residence, and visitation on the table, one of the thousand decisions parents might be making for their kids could include starting therapy. 

For kids and families of divorce therapy should be a safe space for kids to come to express the very real thoughts and feelings about all the changes going on in their lives. 

And sometimes? Parents want therapy to be more.

They request that therapists play the role of mediator or have requests that the therapist gather information so they can use this information to gain more custody or visitation time in court. 

One of the essential tasks in working with divorcing family systems is to understand what your role is, and what it isn’t.  Being a trained therapist who works with kids allows you to provide therapeutic support and healing.  

But some of this other stuff that is being requested?  Well…unless you have very specific training and are thoughtful and clear about navigating dual relationships - it’s likely outside of your scope of practice.  

To help you navigate through these, sometimes muddy waters, I wanted to share my absolutely FREE guide for referrals and resources when working with high conflict divorce.  These cases usually come with requests to bend (or break) your ethical roles and go outside of your legal parameters as a therapist. 

​

This guide was developed after years of experiences and hundreds of hours navigating these requests with parents, divorcing family systems, and in consultation with therapists and lawyers.
