Can you give me legal advice?
No. I cannot provide any legal advice. For any changes in regard to the way your divorce goes should be consulted with your lawyer.
An attorney is expensive, why should I also pay for a divorce coach?
Attorney fees are costly. On average, an hour of attorney help costs between $300-$600 per hour. A divorce coach's rates are much lower, so a client is able to accomplish a great deal for considerably less, and usually at more than half the rate of an attorney. Additionally, a divorce coach is helpful in areas, whereas an attorney may not be. A divorce coach helps you not only with the practical side of a divorce, but also the emotional side - something attorney do not do. The result of utilizing a divorce coach is a much more cost effective and efficient process.
What is the difference between divorce coaching and therapy?
Therapy involves analyzing the past with a client to discover why certain behaviors occur in order to heal a situation. Therapy also deals in diagnosis and treatment of mental illness.
Divorce coaching is focused on what is going on now, the nearest future and goal oriented. While a therapist may provide emotional support with the current situation, not a lot of therapists are familiar with the divorce process itself from the practical point of view.
Will you accompany me to meet with my attorney or to a mediation?
Yes, Marina is able to join you in meetings with your attorney with the agreement between all sides (marina, the client, and the attorney). I am able to join my clients in mediations, but only if this is allowed by the opposing party and mediatiator.
Do you speak languages other than English?
I can provide services in English and in Russian. I can also offer my services as a Russian interpreter in mediations (for an additional fee). Since I am not a court certified interpreter, I am unable to serve as an interpreter in court.
