Testimonials:

Debbie

Everything about this course was extremely useful to me in preparing to initiate my divorce. The vibe of having “a peaceful divorce” rang throughout and really helped me think about how to move forward even though my kids are now adults. Having all of this information and resources helped me create my plan for how to move forward.

Gary

After 35 years of marriage and 10 years of informal separation, I felt it was time to ask for a divorce. But how to do it? Where to begin? Then I discovered the Peaceful Divorce Course. The course is “asynchronous” so you can log into it whenever you want. Joe and Cheryl give video presentations, and there are useful downloads. I don’t know what the future will bring, but now I feel prepared, and I see a pathway to proceed.

Beth

How to Prepare for a Peaceful Divorce made an emotionally challenging and unknown confusing process understandable and manageable. Instructors were friendly and easy to understand, both have gone through the divorce process with different experiences and can relate. The price of the course was fair, too. I feel like I now understand the process and am better prepared to tell my husband.

Laura

I was facing divorce after a 15 year marriage and didn’t know where to turn for reliable information on how to prepare and keep things as drama-free as possible. Then I found this resource and it was just what I was looking for! The content was well-organized, highly relevant and even helped me focus on things I would never have thought to consider. Lesson-by-lesson, I felt more educated, confident and much better prepared to navigate the uncertainty with a clear plan of action.

Meg

Joe and Cheryl, I can’t tell you how appreciative I am that you took the time and effort to create this information for someone going through the separation/divorce process. I wanted to learn the process in order to prepare for my divorce and this course has certainly done its job. I feel better informed on how to proceed, where to start and what to look for when searching for assistance. The information was clear, concise, and easy to follow. Excellent program! Thank you!
