About The Divorce Help Clinic™
Ms. Fagan’s role as a divorce consultant is similar to that of a wedding planner except the focus is divorce. Whether a client needs direction, referrals or a detailed divorce plan, the goal is to reach a better position post-divorce. For those engaged in a divorce custody battle and need to improve their court appearance or want to increase the percentage of child custody time, learning about body language and etiquette can make a big difference in the outcome. Post-Divorce is a time to heal the family relationships that have been impacted by divorce, learning to be effective co-parents as well as moving on to new, romantic relationships. Learning how to avoid past relationship mistakes and/or developing dating skills is a must. The Divorce Help Clinic™ caters to all-things-divorce.

What is Divorce Mediation?

Same Sex Mediation
Since January 1, 2005, California same sex couples who are registered domestic partners have been granted virtually all of the same rights and advantages that traditional married couples enjoy. What this also means is that if the partnership does not work out—for whatever reason—the couple needs to dissolve their relationship legally.
What is Marriage Mediation?
Marriage Mediation is not marriage counseling. In fact, they are very different. Marriage Mediation does NOT explore feelings, emotions, family history or “pathologize” issues. Instead, problems are identified, tradeoffs made and solutions agreed upon. More
What is Post-Divorce Relationship Help?
Research shows that divorce has a significant negative impact on a person’s life and relationships. The newly divorced quickly discover that most aspects of their lives are disrupted by the unexpected. Post-divorce relationship help is not psychotherapy. Instead, it is a process of guiding you in the right direction. We discuss the skills to help you adjust to your new post-divorce life and the people in it. For example, we teach you to develop dating skills and/or to teach you how to help your children cope with the loss of a two-parent family. Being single is what you make it—good or bad. The choice is yours! More
