Now Offering Divorce Coaching
After 30 years of practice as a family law attorney and mediator, Pascha is excited to offer Divorce Coaching.
Divorce coaching is not therapy and it is not typical attorney/client representation or consultation, either. Rather, Pascha brings her decades of experience in family law and divorce, along with a host of coaching tools, ideas, and resources, to provide guidance and support to you at every stage of the process.
Pascha received extensive training through the CDC Institute to work as a Certified Divorce Coach. This rigorous certification program is accredited by the American Bar Association and allows Pascha to offer her coaching services to clients in all 50 states and abroad. Pascha can meet with you from the privacy of your own home or office, via Zoom or telephone.
Pascha's hourly rate for coaching services is less expensive than her rate for attorney and mediation services. Coaching packages and "bundles" are also available to offer comprehensive services and support, at a more affordable overall cost.
Coaching can actually save you money on your overall divorce costs, as you can get support, education, and guidance with Pascha at a lower hourly rate. Rather than calling your attorney or mediator every time you have a question or something upsetting occurs, Pascha can typically answer your questions, calm your fears and get you the information you need saving you time, money and anguish. Pascha brings her 30 years of experience as a divorce attorney and mediator to help you identify your goals, create action plans, and prepare you for your meeting with your attorney, mediator or a court hearing. Pascha also has a host of referrals; so when your needs fall outside the scope of her coaching services, Pascha will refer you to the right person to address the matter.
Pascha can help you at any stage of the process....

Pascha will help you find the resources and tools you may need to save your marriage. Pascha will also support you if you determine the marriage is over, removing the stigma of divorce, and empowering you to move forward with clarity and knowledge about what to expect ahead.

How is Pascha's Divorce Coaching Different Than A Legal Consultation with Pascha?
Pascha's Role as an Attorney: Pascha is a licensed California attorney and is available to provide legal consultation and advice if that is what you need. However, it is important to note that legal consultation is not the same as divorce coaching. If you are seeking legal advice and consultation, please clearly communicate this to Pascha's assistants when reaching out to book appointments. Legal consults are booked directly through Pascha's office and NOT online. (only coaching can be booked online).
As your consulting attorney, Pascha can and will provide you with legal advice, review financial forms, tax returns, paystubs, and perform financial calculations (if applicable). Pascha can also provide legal advice on issues such as separate and community property, child custody, child support, spousal support/alimony, and more. Please be aware that when you schedule a legal consultation with Pascha, her services are billed at her standard (higher) hourly rate, currently $550/hour and subject to increase.
Pascha's Role as a Divorce Coach: As your coach, Pascha leverages her 30 years of legal experience to guide you through the divorce process, helping you navigate your options, decide whether to “stay or go,” and demystify the complexities of divorce.
Pascha will provide you with legal education, resources, referrals, emotional support, and practical guidance at every stage of the process—before, during, and after a potential divorce.
However, as your divorce coach, Pascha is not acting as your attorney and cannot provide legal advice or representation.

As your coach, Pascha is your thinking partner, helping you develop a personalized action plan for your divorce.

Pascha's divorce coaching will provide you with guidance and support to help you clarify your goals and ensure that you approach your divorce as your best and most prepared self. Pascha offers a free 10 minute discovery call to determine if divorce coaching is right for you!
