90-Day Restorative Divorce® Workbook

A Grounded, Reflective Guide to Navigating Divorce with Clarity and Strength

Divorce is not just a legal event; it's a personal transformation. That's why we created the 90-Day Restorative Divorce® Workbook: a week-by-week guide that helps you stay grounded, reflect on what matters most, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

This paperback divorce workbook isn't a checklist or a court-prep manual. This is a practical planning tool. It's a space to think, plan, and feel your way through change whether you're preparing for divorce, rebuilding during the process, or growing after it's over.

The 90-Day Restorative Divorce® Workbook is available to be purchased independently and it is provided to all clients of the firm.

Why a Workbook? Why 90 Days?

Legal timelines don't always match emotional timelines. The 90-Day Workbook gives you space to slow down, look inward, and set a meaningful course — before, during, or after your divorce.

It's ideal for anyone who wants:

  • - A structured but non-rigid guide
  • - A neutral tone, not court language, not therapy-heavy
  • - To keep children at the center, without putting them in the middle
  • - To feel supported in private reflection, with optional follow-up from our team

Want to Restart the Process?

Already divorced but feeling stuck or overwhelmed by co-parenting? You can begin again. The workbook is equally useful for:

  • - Post-divorce healing
  • - Realigning during long-term parenting
  • - Working through grief, anger, or uncertainty that didn't resolve in court

This is your space to reset.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 90-Day Restorative Divorce® Workbook?

The 90-Day Restorative Divorce® Workbook is a guided reflection and decision-making tool designed to help individuals navigate divorce with greater clarity, confidence, and intention. Through a structured 12-week process, it helps readers organize their thoughts, prepare for important decisions, identify patterns, and reduce reactive decision-making. It can be used independently or alongside mediation, legal services, or other professional support.

Is this workbook a legal guide?

No. This workbook is not a legal manual or a substitute for legal advice. It is designed to support your thinking, reflection, and decision-making so you can approach the legal process with greater clarity and confidence.

Back to Top


Can I use this workbook without working with an attorney or mediator?

Yes. Many individuals use this workbook independently to prepare for next steps, organize their thoughts, or work through the emotional and practical aspects of divorce.

At the same time, many find that once they gain clarity, they are better prepared to use mediation or other professional support effectively.

Back to Top


What makes this different from therapy or counseling?

This workbook is not therapy. It is structured reflection.

It helps you:
• organize your thoughts
• identify patterns
• prepare for conversations and decisions

You are always welcome to use it alongside therapy, but it is designed to stand on its own as a practical, grounded guide.

Back to Top


What if I feel overwhelmed or fall behind?

That is completely normal.

This is not a program you can “fail.” The 12-week structure is there to provide guidance, not pressure. You can move at your own pace, revisit sections, or pause when needed.

Back to Top


Is this only for people in the middle of a divorce?

No.

This workbook is useful:
• before a divorce, when you are preparing
• during the process, when decisions are being made
• after divorce, when you are adjusting or co-parenting

Many people return to it more than once.

Back to Top


Will this help with co-parenting?

Yes. Several sections are designed to help you reflect on communication, boundaries, and decision-making involving children.

It will not give you a parenting plan, but it will help you approach parenting decisions more thoughtfully and with less reactivity.

Back to Top


How do the weekly emails work?

If you are working with our office, you will receive weekly emails that align with each section of the workbook.

If you purchased the workbook independently, you may contact our office to opt in.

These emails are designed to:
• keep you engaged
• reinforce each week's theme
• provide additional perspective and guidance

Back to Top


What if I need more support while using the workbook?

If you find that you would benefit from additional guidance, you are welcome to reach out.

Some individuals choose to:
• schedule a planning session
• transition into mediation
• use limited-scope support

The workbook is often a helpful first step in that process.

Back to Top


Is this workbook appropriate for high-conflict situations?

Yes, with awareness.

The workbook can help you stay grounded and intentional even in difficult dynamics. However, it is not a substitute for professional guidance in situations involving safety concerns, significant imbalance, or ongoing conflict escalation.

Back to Top


How is this connected to Restorative Divorce®?

This workbook is one part of the broader Restorative Divorce® Pathway.

It reflects the same principles:
• clarity over reactivity
• thoughtful decision-making
• keeping children at the center
• reducing unnecessary conflict

It can be used on its own or as a companion to our services.

Together, when both parents are ready to resolve matters through mediation.

Both options are structured so you’re not waiting on the court system for next steps.
