This review is long overdue. I am very thankful to Lauren Fair. I was her client back in 2012. I was having a difficult time with my daughter’s father but the moment I went into consultation with her I felt at ease and relieved that finally someone is willing to listen and understand. I didn’t have much money, I even lost my apartment in order to retain her services. My child and I were legit homeless. She is compassionate and willing to go out and above for her client. I am truly grateful. She got it done in one go. No headache or mess for me. I had a smooth experience. Thank you Lauren.
You Don't Have to Divorce Alone
If you need help navigating divorce,
you're in the right place.

Deciding to divorce is a big step. One that you have probably been thinking about for quite some time. You’re in one of two boats: You’ve either already made the decision to divorce or you’re still on the fence. Either way, you want to make sure you get it right.
If you’re still on the fence, you know there are significant issues in the marriage but there’s something holding you back from moving forward. You’ve invested a lot of yourself in this relationship and you don’t know if it’s time to throw in the towel but also know things can’t stay the same.
If you have already made the decision to divorce, you’re concerned with getting it right in the process. And you don’t know exactly how to do that. You’re used to getting things done, but when it comes to divorce, you’re lacking confidence and knowledge about how to best tackle this transition and the unfamiliar legal process. You may not have done this before, and you don’t know where to start. There are a thousand questions swirling around in your mind and you’re getting overwhelmed with the scope of the uncertainty that lies ahead.
"Divorce is a plot twist – not the end of your story. It can be a life-changing opportunity to grow, evolve, rediscover your values, reconnect with your soul, revive your spirit, and come out ahead in ways you never thought possible."
If you’re looking for a professional divorce coach that can help you understand your next steps and create a smart plan of action, you're in the right place.
If you are at the early stages of your divorce and want to approach your divorce with confidence while minimizing its impact on you, your family, and your wallet, we should connect.
Where Are You in The Process?
Services By Stage of the Divorce Process
Pre-Divorce
If you’ve already decided to divorce, but have not initiated the legal process, this is the best time in the process to hire a coach to avoid costly mistakes, set yourself up to obtain the best possible results, and make smart decisions to set the tone of your separation and divorce process in a way that aligns with your outcome goals.
Decide to Stay or Go
If you are considering divorce, you may be feeling a rollercoaster of emotions. You may be uncertain, confused, and overwhelmed, which often leads to being frozen in inaction. Sitting on the fence on this issue is draining and not serving either end - whether that be working on the marriage or moving forward toward a new reality. This can be a very isolating time and without the right support, the effects of these feelings can bleed over into other areas of your life and wreak havoc on your emotional, mental, and even physical well-being. You can talk to your family and friends, but they often have their own biased opinions about your situation they feel free to share and may not provide you a safe, neutral space to help you process your feelings or share sensitive information confidentially.
If you are struggling with whether to get a divorce and need help deciding whether to stay or go, we can help you make the best decision for you. I will walk you through my CHANGE framework to making the separation decision, and help you understand the realities of both options clearly so you can clearly make an informed choice that is best for you. Whether you decide to stay or to go, we will devise a strategy for success for whichever path you are on.

What is Divorce Coaching?
Not familiar with what a divorce coach does?
Divorce coaching is a recognized dispute resolution process recognized by The American Bar Association and the Association for Conflict Resolution, which define it as:
“Divorce coaching is a flexible, goal-oriented process designed to support, motivate, and guide people going through divorce to help them make the best possible decisions for their future, based on their interests, needs and concerns.”
Divorce coaching fills a gap between the services provided by an attorney and those provided by a therapist. We wish we would have had this kind of support when going through our own divorces.
When you’re going through a divorce, you need compassionate, knowledgeable, and non-judgmental support in navigating the business of divorce, the lived experience of divorce, and moving on from divorce, which a divorce coach is specially trained to address.
Can you get through divorce without the compassionate, strategic guidance of a professional divorce coach? Of course, but why would you want to? The amount and quality of support people receive during the divorce process directly correlates to the quality of their life post-divorce.
You deserve to start prioritizing your needs and investing in your well-being as you navigate this significant life event.

Lauren walked me through the entire process step by step. When a court date or decision needed to be made. She was honest and prepared me for all the scenarios. Her knowledge and commitment to her work shows. I always received timely responses from her and all staff members. I can not thank them enough for all they did for me. I am now divorced and was granted an out of state move away. I highly recommend Lauren Fair. She truly cares about her clients and their best interest.
Desiree P.
Their dedication to my case was evident in their tireless efforts, attention to detail, and strategic approach.
I am beyond grateful for the exceptional legal support provided by my family law attorney, Elena. From the outset, they demonstrated a deep understanding of the intricacies involved in child custody cases. Their dedication to my case was evident in their tireless efforts, attention to detail, and strategic approach. Not only did they secure a favorable outcome, but they also ensured that my concerns and priorities were at the forefront throughout the process.

My family and I are now looking forward to a brighter future, thanks to their outstanding representation.
Andrea Brown
Elena focused on a resolution, which made me trust her even more.
Elena remained balanced, reflective and strategic throughout the entire process. Without Elena’s insight and expert knowledge of the law, the case could have easily resulted in ongoing conflict and expensive litigation. Elena focused on a resolution, which made me trust her even more.
Samantha served as the paralegal on my case. She was highly responsive and with an incredible attention to detail.
Family law can become high conflict very quickly, Working with an ethical attorney and paralegal focused on the well being of their client and client’s child, rather than ongoing and unnecessary litigation is invaluable.

George Sims
Lauren has been my attorney for the past 3 years and I could not be more pleased with how she and her team handled my case from beginning to end.
Lauren has been my attorney for the past 3 years and I could not be more pleased with how she (and the rest of her team) handled my case from beginning to end. Throughout this terribly trying experience (which included multiple hearings for divorce, custody, and child support disputes) my confidence in Lauren has never faltered and I was able to find comfort in the fact that she always had my and my daughter’s interests in mind. I was well informed, well prepared, and had clear expectations throughout the entire process, and I was never disappointed or surprised in court. I have already personally recommended her to one other person (who has retained her) and will do so to anyone who finds themselves in this difficult situation.
