Why Divorce Coaching Works
Expert Guidance
Divorce touches every part of life — family, home, and finances. DepartSmart coaches bring experience and insight from years working alongside lawyers and other professionals, helping you make clear, confident decisions through separation.
Personalized Support
Every separation is different. DepartSmart coaching focuses on your specific goals and challenges, offering practical tools and strategies that fit your situation — so you can make informed decisions and move forward with confidence.
Emotional Empowerment
Divorce can leave you feeling uncertain and overwhelmed. DepartSmart coaching helps you regain clarity, manage emotions, and stay grounded — so you can approach each step with calm confidence and control.
Who We Help
DepartSmart works with people in the thick of separation — often mid-career, managing parenting, mortgages, and major financial change. Our clients want practical, level-headed support alongside their legal process.
Divorce Happens in Midlife
Most of our clients are in their late 30s to early 50s.
They’re facing divorce after 15 to 20 years of marriage, right when careers, parenting, and financial complexity peak.
📍 Average age at divorce: 47.5
📍 Average age at marriage: 29.5
📍 Most common age range for divorce: 30–44*Statistics Canada census data
Divorce Takes Time—And That Time Takes a Toll
The average divorce in Nova Scotia takes over 5 months to finalize. And that’s if things go smoothly.
That’s half a year of:
Paperwork
Uncertainty
Emotional strain
Co-parenting limbo
Constant questions from lawyers, kids, and your own inner critic
Kids and Divorce: The Age Factor
Children don’t get a say in separation—but they feel the full weight of it.
As kids get older, the chances that they’ve experienced their parents’ divorce increases sharply. That means the decisions you make now don’t just affect you—they shape your child’s emotional landscape for years.
Whether your child is 4 or 14, the way you handle this matters. Coaching helps you keep their experience front-of-mind—without losing sight of your own stability.
We help parents:
Create smoother transitions for young kids
Communicate clearly with preteens
Set boundaries with teens
