Why would someone with decades of experience as a family law attorney and family court judge choose to pursue training as a divorce coach? We invited Chandlee Kuhn, a student in our current cohort, to share her perspective and give you some insights.
Chandlee J. Kuhn is the retired Chief Judge of the Family Court for the State of Delaware. Chief Judge Kuhn recently joined the Family Law Advice Center (FLAC), a limited representation law practice. In her legal role, Judge Kuhn evaluates legal matters and advises clients regarding their Family Court matters. She also coaches her clients to navigate the ups and downs of the legal process and life after Family Court. Judge Kuhn is a Certified Mediator for the Delaware Family Court and the Delaware Superior Court and has devoted her career to serving the community through numerous local and national boards and organizations, including as a Director of the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges, the Executive Committee of the Supreme Court of Delaware, the Delaware Court on the Judiciary, the Child Protection Accountability Commission, the Domestic Violence Coordinating Council, and the Criminal Justice Council of Delaware.
Those are some serious credentials, so we had to ask ... why divorce coach training? Not only does Chandlee have a love of learning, but as she transitions her work with clients to a limited law practice that doesn't litigate, she wanted to have the ability to both approach her cases from a new perspective and market her practice differently.
As an attorney, she is used to giving advice and telling clients what to do. She says one of her biggest AHA moments so far has been that in divorce coaching we teach our clients to navigate for themselves. She's looking forward to letting the client lead their own journey of self-discovery and trust that they have their own answers.
Chandlee was attracted to the DCA certification program because we are aligned with the ABA definition of divorce coaching as a method of alternative dispute resolution. She recommends coaching training to other divorce professionals because she believes it will allow them to get more satisfaction from a field that can be extremely draining.
