Work alongside your client's coach
Your client is getting help from more than one person. Their attorney, their coach, sometimes a therapist or a financial professional, all working the same divorce from different sides and rarely comparing notes.
A DivorcePlus professional account puts you in the same place. Message your client and their coach, join a session when it's worth being there, and stay current on the work happening between your meetings.
Free to create. No subscription, no referral fees.
What you can do
Message your client and their coach
A shared thread, or a direct one. Ask the coach what came up in last week's session before you walk into a settlement conference. Tell them what you need your client to be ready for. Give the coach a heads-up that a custody evaluation is coming so they can prepare your client emotionally instead of finding out the morning of.
Join a session
When it's worth being there, be there. A joint session before mediation, a walkthrough of a parenting plan, a hard conversation about expectations that lands better when the coach and the attorney say the same thing. You join from the browser. No app to install and nothing for your client to figure out.
Stay linked between meetings
Divorce work happens in the gaps. Your client has six weeks between hearings and a coach seeing them weekly. Being linked means you know what's changed before it shows up as a surprise in a deposition.
Keep it in one place
No forwarded email chains, no texting a coach you met once, no wondering whether the therapist got the memo. One thread, one record, everyone current.
The privilege question, answered
Yes, you should think about privilege before you connect
Adding a third party to a communication can waive a privilege that would otherwise protect it. That's true here and it's true on a conference call.
What that means in practice:
Coaching communications are generally not privileged to begin with. Your client's conversations with their coach, their booking records, and the fact of the engagement are already exposed in most jurisdictions, with or without you.
When you join a thread or a session, you're making a judgment call you already make every day: is the benefit of coordinating worth the exposure. You decide that, per client, per conversation. We don't decide it for you and we don't claim to protect it.
What we do: we don't voluntarily disclose the existence of a client's coaching relationship, and we don't record sessions. Full detail is in Section 10 of our Terms of Use and Section 7 of our Privacy Policy. What we don't do: create, preserve, or extend any privilege. Refer to your local jurisdiction for privilege laws and rules.
Why professionals connect
Different practice, different reason. Same client.
| If you are | What changes |
|---|---|
| Attorneys Family law, litigation | Your client shows up prepared. A coached client who understands mediation and has worked out what they actually want is faster, cheaper, and calmer. Coaches do the emotional labor that otherwise gets billed at your hourly rate, and fewer 11pm emails land on you. |
| Mediators Family and divorce mediation | Parties arrive with positions, not grievances. People who have done coaching work come in knowing what they want and why. Knowing that going in changes how you run the session and how quickly you get to substance. |
| Therapists Clinical and counseling | You can flag what the coach can’t see. You’re managing clinical care while your client makes irreversible legal and financial decisions. Being connected lets you signal when they aren’t in a state to be making them, without becoming the messenger. |
| Financial professionals CDFAs, advisors, accountants | Your analysis survives the settlement conference. The numbers only work if your client understands them and can hold the line under pressure. Coordinating with the coach means the plan you built is the plan that gets negotiated. |
| Everyone All professional accounts | Better information, between meetings. Coaches see your client weekly. They know when things are deteriorating at home, when a co-parent has started escalating, and when your client is about to make a decision you’d advise against. That’s intelligence you don’t otherwise get. |
Free for every professional account. No subscription, no lead fees, no referral arrangement, and nothing taken from your billing.
You connect only when a client links you, and either of you can unlink at any time. Communications on the platform are generally not privileged, and adding a third party to a conversation may waive a privilege that would otherwise apply. See our Terms of Use and Disclaimers.
What this is not
Not a referral service. We don't send you clients, we don't take a cut of your fees, and we don't rank or recommend professionals. You connect with a client because they invited you.
Not a case management system. This isn't where your matter lives. It's a channel to the coaching side of your client's situation.
Not supervision. DivorcePlus doesn't direct, supervise, or take responsibility for anyone's professional work, including yours. You're an independent professional operating under your own licensing rules, ethics obligations, and malpractice coverage.
Not a substitute for your own file. Keep your own records. We're not the system of record for your matter, and you shouldn't treat us as one.
Getting connected
Create your account
Name, contact information, your practice, and your role. Free, and it takes a few minutes.
Get linked by your client
Your client links you from their portal. You're not added to anything without their say-so, and they can unlink you at any time.
Start where it's useful
Message the coach, join a session, or just stay visible in the thread. Use as much or as little of it as the matter warrants.
Frequently asked questions
What does it cost?
Nothing. Professional accounts are free, with no subscription tier and no upgrade.
Do I need my client's permission to link to their dashboard?
Yes. Your client links you from their portal. You can't add yourself to anyone's dashboard, and neither can the coach.
Can my client see everything I write?
Assume yes. Group messages are accessible to everyone listed.
Are messages here discoverable?
Maybe. Messages, session records, and the fact of your participation may be discoverable in your client's proceeding. See the section above on privilege.
Are sessions recorded?
Not by DivorcePlus. We don't record, transcribe, or store session audio or video. We can't prevent another participant from running screen capture, so set expectations at the start of any session the way you would on any video call.
Am I responsible for the coach's advice?
No, and they aren't responsible for yours. Everyone on the platform is an independent professional. DivorcePlus doesn't employ, supervise, or vouch for any of us.
Does this create a conflict for me?
That's your call under your own rules of professional conduct. We don't run conflict checks.
Can I be a professional and a coach?
Yes, but they're different accounts with different terms, and if you're licensed you're responsible for your own board's rules about advertising, scope, and where you're allowed to practice. Coaching is not the practice of law or therapy.
How do I unlink from a client?
From your account, at any time. Your client can also unlink you from their portal.
