Jeffrey A. Steiger is a family specialist, trained by the
Hudson Valley Collaborative Divorce Association and the New York Association
of Collaborative Professionals. Collaborative divorce is an out-of-court
process that enables a couple and their family to divorce with dignity.
The goal of collaborative divorce is to support the couple in negotiating
their divorce in a humane and non-adversarial environment. It is a team
approach that can include attorneys, coaches (mental health professionals),
child specialists and financial planners. The role of the coach is to
navigate through the complex emotional issues that arise during the divorce
process, and to help the individual family members transition into their
new lives.
