“The practical education we wish everyone had during separation.” Jennifer & Julie
The first online separation education program built for individuals like you.
Our goal is to make Separation Preparation the gold standard program for anyone considering or experiencing separation.
Where you participate in your separation process informed, prepared, and better equipped to make thoughtful decisions.

Separation Preparation is brought to you by:

No Matter where you are emotionally, nothing replaces understanding.
People begin separation from many different places.
You may feel overwhelmed, angry, happy, frustrated, relieved, uncertain, fearful, and/or simply exhausted.
Whatever your experience, understanding your options can help you make thoughtful decisions rather than reactive ones.

You can’t make informed decisions, without first understanding your options.
Many people make important separation decisions before fully understanding the available processes, supports, financial considerations, and parenting implications.
Pressure, financial strain, a lack of information, an inability to communicate with your partner and/or a desire to just “move on from this” cause people to rush into decisions.
Separation Preparation is designed to help you understand your options before making decisions that may impact you and your family for years to come.

Real-World information from professionals who work with separating families every day.
The information in this program is grounded in real-world experience.
Drawing on decades of combined professional and personal experience, we share practical insights, common challenges, and lessons learned from working with thousands of individuals and families navigating separation.

Information You Can Trust
Our combined experience includes family mediation, divorce coaching, parenting coordination, arbitration, financial specialization, and conflict resolution.
We have lived through separation personally and helped 1000s of people through their separation journey.
