What does a divorce coach actually do—and how is it different from a lawyer or therapist?
A divorce coach is not a lawyer or a therapist—we are your thinking partner and steady guide through one of life’s most overwhelming transitions.
Here’s how divorce coaching is unique:
Organization: Collecting the right financial, parenting, and preparation documents.
Clarity: Helping you define your goals, values, and non-negotiables.
Strategy: Preparing you for divorce road ahead so you walk into meetings and mediation with confidence.
Emotional steadiness: Offering tools and accountability to help you stay grounded.
Unlike a lawyer, we don’t provide legal advice—but we help you prepare for legal conversations, so you save time and reduce costly attorney hours. Unlike a therapist, we don’t dive deep into mental health treatment—but we respect the emotional weight of divorce and can refer trusted resources if needed.
Think of a divorce coach as the calm between the chaos—a strategic partner who helps you move forward clear-eyed, prepared, and confident.

Private 1:1 Coaching with Sharon Lee
Whether you’re in the early “should I stay or go” stage or navigating high-conflict negotiations, these resources help you organize, prepare, and move forward strategically.
How does the onboarding process work?
We begin with a free discovery call. This is not a full coaching session but a no-pressure conversation to explore:
Where you are in the divorce process
What type of support you may need
How Free My Assets could help
If we both feel aligned, we’ll review available coaching options, resource packages, and next steps. Our goal is to ensure you get the right structure, support, and pace for your situation.
Why is writing my marriage history part of the process, and how does it help my divorce?
Writing your marriage history isn’t just reflection—it’s a strategic first step. It helps you capture both the emotional and logistical story of your relationship, including key events, finances, parenting roles, and business involvement.
This exercise:
Clears mental clutter
Reveals overlooked details
Establishes timelines and context
Highlights behavioral and financial patterns
When done with intention, your marital history becomes a powerful foundation for legal clarity, fair negotiations, and emotional closure.
What can I expect during weekly divorce coaching sessions?
Each weekly session is tailored to you—no cookie-cutter agenda. Sessions can include:
A calm, judgment-free space to sort through what’s unfolding
Guidance for financial, parenting, and emotional preparation
Accountability so you continue making progress
Tools, templates, and exercises for between sessions
Some clients come prepared with documents to review, while others need emotional grounding. Either way, the goal is the same: to help you move through divorce clear-eyed, steady, and confident.
What’s the difference between weekly and emergency sessions?
Weekly sessions: Your dedicated coaching time to stay on track, review progress, and build strategy.
Emergency sessions: Unscheduled, urgent support for when life throws you an unexpected curve—like a sudden legal deadline, a distressing message from your ex, or an emotional trigger.
As a client, you can reach out via phone, text, or email. Emergency sessions are included at no additional cost, because life doesn’t always wait for a scheduled appointment.
Is Free My Assets right for me?
Free My Assets is designed for people who want a mix of strategy, structure, and emotional support. It’s a good fit if you:
Feel overwhelmed and need help getting organized
Are unsure whether to stay in your marriage or divorce
Want clarity around financial and parenting goals
Are navigating grey divorce or high-conflict separation
Value a process that blends planning with healing
If you’re still unsure, we invite you to book a free Discovery Call to see if this is the right fit.
Do you only coach people already divorcing?
No. Many clients come while they are still deciding. Divorce coaching is just as valuable during the “I don’t know” stage. We’ll explore your thoughts, values, and priorities together so you can make a clear, empowered decision whether you choose to stay or to go.
Can a divorce coach save me money on attorney fees?
Yes. Attorneys are essential for legal advice, but they often charge hourly rates for tasks that a divorce coach can help you prepare for in advance. By working with Free My Assets, you walk into legal meetings:
Already organized with documents
Clear on your financial numbers
Confident in your goals and boundaries
This preparation helps you use your attorney’s time more effectively, and often reducing overall legal costs.
What is grey divorce and why is it unique?
Grey divorce refers to separation after the age of 50. Unlike younger divorces, it often involves:
Dividing retirement accounts and long-term assets
Navigating identity after decades of marriage
Rebuilding financial security later in life
Managing adult children’s reactions
The Free My Assets Gray Divorce Series was created specifically for these challenges, giving you tailored tools for both the financial and emotional realities of later-life divorce.
Do men work with Free My Assets, or is this mainly for women?
While many clients are women, especially those divorcing high-conflict or toxic spouses, men also work with Free My Assets. We offer male-focused resources, like The Guys’ Guide to Divorce, that address the unique pressures men face such as financial responsibility, stigma around asking for help, and parenting during divorce.
Do I have to live in your area to work with you?
No. Free My Assets coaching is fully virtual, which means you can access support from anywhere in the United States (and beyond). If you prefer, we also provide downloadable guides and workbooks that you can use independently, at your own pace.
