Jenna Brunett Consulting
My Role: Strategic Coaching
The advantage of my legal background is I know how to advocate for you. I can translate complex legal jargon into information that is easily understandable, ensuring you remain informed throughout the process. It’s vital to grasp not only the “how” but also the “why” behind your attorney's guidance, and I am here to facilitate that understanding.
Considering what is most important during your divorce and post-divorce, I will assist you in strategically evaluating the impact of divorce and family dynamics on your children, lifestyle, and overall well-being. Together, we can navigate these challenges with a focus on your priorities and long-term goals, ensuring that you feel supported and empowered every step of the way. Your journey through and beyond divorce is significant, and I am committed to providing you with the guidance and support required to navigate this challenging process effectively.
How I Will Help You
I will help prepare you for life during and after divorce by helping you through every step of the process.
What I Will Do for You:
Participate in Mediations: I will help prepare you for and participate in mediation sessions alongside you and your attorney, ensuring you feel supported and informed.
Document Preparation: I will assist you in gathering the necessary documentation for legal filings, making sure everything is organized and accurate.
Information Organization: Prior to meetings with your attorney, I will help you organize your information. This ensures you can ask relevant questions, stay focused, and minimize your legal fees.
Attorney Communication: I will join calls with your attorney to help clarify and explain the information discussed, ensuring you understand all aspects of your case.
Communication Techniques: I will provide you with effective communication techniques to facilitate interactions with your soon-to-be or former partner, promoting a more amicable exchange.
Draft Organized Responses: I will help you draft organized and concise responses to your attorney, streamlining the process and saving you both time and money.
Resource Connections: I will connect you with additional resources, such as financial experts and advisors, realtors, trust and estate attorneys, therapists, and more, ensuring you have the comprehensive support you need.
Practical Strategies for Coparenting
Family dynamics are inherently complex and present unique challenges, particularly during a divorce or in a coparenting arrangement. Many individuals find themselves in need of support that transcends legal advice. They often seek an opportunity to express their feelings and experiences regarding their current situation.
Although I am not a therapist, I can provide guidance on strategies that may help foster a more productive coparenting experience. Here are some approaches to consider:
Open Communication: Initiate a straightforward conversation with your coparent about the impact of their behavior. Keep the tone calm and focus on how the behavior affects your child.
Set Clear Expectations: Revisit the parenting plan to ensure both parties have a mutual understanding of the expectations.
Propose Solutions: If problematic behaviors persist, suggest practical solutions.
Stay Child-Focused: Emphasize the importance of your child's stability and happiness. Remind your coparent that consistency is key to supporting your child's emotional well-being.
Incorporate Flexibility: While it’s essential to address issues directly, consider allowing a degree of flexibility when life’s unexpected circumstances arise. This can help to promote goodwill and understanding.
Document Patterns: If the issue continues, keeping a log of instances may help you discuss the problem with your lawyer or a mediator if things don’t improve.
By creating a structured and respectful dialogue around these challenges, you can make strides toward a more effective coparenting relationship. Ultimately, prioritizing the well-being of your child while maintaining a firm yet empathetic stance can lead to a more harmonious dynamic.
