Danah the Divorce Coach and Mediator

About Me

Hi, I am a former Superior Court Mediator, Domestic Violence Investigator and Child Custody Investigator who left the court to help people better understand how divorce really works in the Courts.It is so much quicker and less expensive to mediate and not involve attorneys if you can find common ground in your conflicts. Turn it into a win-win instead of the traditional litigated win-lose scenario. I do coach many clients who have attorneys because their cases were not suitable for mediation and when doing this I help support them and provide information and stability in what is usually a very difficult time for people. A litigated divorce can cost around $150,000, a mediated divorce is a fraction of this.

There other options including doing it yourselves or hiring a mediator. I am a certified mediator who also acts as a divorce coach, because mediation is not always the best option or may not be a viable option if the other party in not receptive.I can be reached at: [email protected] I will happily answer quick questions for free and refer out if needed.Thanks,Danah Hilden, MACertified Mediator in California and Divorce Coach

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone contemplating divorce or struggling with co-parenting and child custody issues and any others who are supportive of peaceful solutions to conflict and holistic approaches to life. Also anyone who has ideas on how to prevent divorce. People who embrace all truths and believe we are all part of one holistic system. People who believe good marriages are good for children but have the wisdom to know that bad marriages don't help anyone.
