⏳ How long is this going to take? ❓One of the most common questions people facing divorce or separation disputes will ask their chosen professional. 🤷‍♀️ And the most common answer? ‘It depends.’ Groan. 👂🏼The Courtney team listened to our early testers and worked hard to create the materials they felt they lacked to understand their new situations. This court proceedings timeline is one example. 💻 This court proceedings timeline is also available on our website, alongside its non-court cousin timeline. (They don’t always get along, those two cousins, but one is much more open to reconciliation than the other.) 💡Remember, Courtney does not do legal advice. We do empowerment through accessible, visual learning. Happy Monday, friends. Love Courtney

🪞 These nuggets might be a little different to typical social media soundbites around separation and divorce. They ask you to hold a mirror up to your emotions and arguments. ✋🏼 This is harder than giving a high five to a fixed mindset and saying ‘f*ck you’, without reflection, without an eye on the ripples from any conflict. 🎧 If you haven’t listened to our podcast with Philippa Johnson yet, please do. Especially her reflections on how lonely it is to be ‘right’. 🔗 in bio. 💻 And seriously. Almost every email you write to your ex is too long. Edit, edit, edit. Short, laser-focused, practical proposals without baggage are best. 🙏🏼 The legal process of your divorce or separation is unlikely to produce healing or retribution. It is not designed for this. 🔍 Get specialist help and support – from counsellors, lawyers, charities, the police etc – without hesitation. Safety and health are the priorities. 🎓 Finally, get educated. Enter, Courtney. All rise.
