Divorce Reality Group provides ...

... complete domestic relations mediation and professional divorce coaching.

Common to all of our work is the experience and desire to help you exercise control over your divorce related challenges, to the greatest extent possible.

• Get a handle on the wildly ranging financial impacts of divorce.

• Develop a realistic parenting philosophy, dealing with the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved.

• Approach your personal post-divorce relationships with a clear head.

My name is Dell Deaton, and I've been a personal life coach and business consultant since 1983. I've been trained under Michigan Court Rule 3.216 in domestic relations mediation. I've created the longest continuously running divorce support group program in Washtenaw County, Michigan.

I've been through divorce myself, and I'm now parenting in a blended home after six years as a single dad.

So when it comes to the subject of divorce, the word "experience" has a rather unique and comprehensive meaning here. In a word, my practice is different.

• Mediation is a non-judgmental process through which I work with you and your spouse to help you create your own Settlement Agreement for divorce.

• Coaching is where I work with only one spouse, to help demystify the divorce process, assist with document organization, and recognize goals to guide your actions.

Our approach to "the system" is to help you "fit" without "force" where we can. You'll find me efficient and responsive, but not high pressure.

You and/or your spouse are welcome to attend one of my weekly walk-in support groups to try out the "fit" with me before deciding to go forward on coaching or mediation. You may also get a better feel for how I interact with clients and my approach to divorce practice through original Divorce Balance articles (names changed to respect privacy, of course). Follow the link from any article title to the left here to read complete articles.

• Give me a call at (734) 668-2001 to discuss any of this further.

• Or click on the "eMail Dell" link if you prefer.

As a community service, Divorce Reality Group has created and maintains the free-access divorcePeers.com website. Over the years, divorcePeers.com has grown in response to a national and even international audience.

Divorce is a very difficult, very individual process. It deeply saddens me that anyone has to go through this. Respect the time you need to deal with things. Ask questions. Let me know if you'd like me to help you.

Take care.
