Free Divorce Options Workshops for Pasadena/SGV Community

Pasadena Collaborative Divorce (pasadenacollaborativedivorce.com) offers this public service to empower couples and families to make well-informed, and effective long-term decisions, that move them through this challenging transition as respectfully and cost-effectively as they desire.

Attendees learn to understand and manage the legal, financial and emotional aspects of divorce. Topics include: the different divorce options, the pros and cons and relative costs of each, divorce-related terms, and which approach may provide your desired outcomes under different financial or interpersonal circumstances. Some types of divorce include, for example:

– Do-it-yourself Divorce
– Traditional Mediation, Co-Mediation & Enhanced Mediation
– Collaborative Divorce
– Traditional Litigated Divorce

Professionals from Pasadena Collaborative Divorce answer questions as time permits, and help one know how to get started. These are licensed mental health professionals (“Divorce Coaches,” “Child & Co-parenting Specialists”), financial specialists (e.g. CPA’s trained specifically in divorce matters), and attorneys. Aside from our profession-specific licenses, all presenters are also intensively trained in Collaborative Divorce protocols, as well as in Mediation.

Who’s Welcome? Same or opposite gender couples, domestic partnerships, co-habitating couples, as well as married persons, with or without children.

The workshops will be held on the second Tuesday of the month, March-June 2015, Noon-3:30 p.m on April 14, 2015 at Donald E. Wright Auditorium in the Pasadena Central Library, 285 East Walnut Street, Pasadena (across from the courthouse). Bring sack lunch.

Attendees are asked to use nearby parking structures, not the limited parking of the library, which is donating the auditorium for this public service. For questions or to make reservations call Ria Severance, LMFT 24650 at (626) 354-4334.
