Divorce Diplomats focuses on pre-divorce decision making, divorce restructuring, and post-divorce recovery. This implies that divorce therapy is a goal-directed process, aimed at constructive divorce procedures which assists both parties in attaining closure and aims at benefiting the larger system where children may be involved , allowing effective communication to take place through optimal co-parenting skills in future where the children are concerned as a first priority.

For the couple who are unable to remain in the relationship for whatever reason, the conclusion becomes DIVORCE there are two alternatives all dependent on the amicability of the separation and whether children are involved.

Should children be involved the ideal and most appropriate form of separation would be a mediated divorce, whereby both parties sit with Dr Haeck and Richard Wands and conclude a way forward for their co-parenting relationship. Once the divorce agreement is agreed on, both parties will attend a 12 step divorce mediation process which includes psycho-legal processes towards growth. Documentation will be finalised for the divorce and both parties will assist in the legal portion of the proceedings in an effort to minimise the impact on both the children and the finances during the process.

Going forward, the therapist will assist the divorcing couple, their children and their family to resolve ambivalence, fostering autonomy and self-esteem as a separate individual along with parenting skills for both as co-parents. The children of the divorcing couple are usually involved in the process of therapy in an effort to understand where they are emotionally prior to the divorce, during and after the divorce, in an effort to assist them to adjust optimally to their new environments.

For couples who are at loggerheads, the alternative is that the therapist suggests to the couple an appropriate attorney in an effort to assist their case optimally. This more often than not occurs between parties that are unable to settle out of court as well as parties that don’t have children in their marriage.

The average divorce mediation session is 90 minutes in duration at any point.
