Meet Paulette Rigo, Certified Divorce Coach and Mediator, Founder of Better Divorce Academy
I’ve never talked to someone who got divorced who said that the process was easy, that it didn’t take very long, or that it didn’t cost a lot of money. BUT, Paulette Rigo’s divorce story makes most others seem like a cake walk! Paulette, a Certified Divorce Coach and Mediator (and warm, wonderful person) endured an 8 1/2 year divorce case that ended in a 12-day trial and four years of post-litigation! That was in 2007.
Paulette’s arduous, painful and heartbreaking experience led her to start Better Divorce Academy, her divorce coaching and mediation practice dedicated to helping people avoid the mistakes she said she made, become empowered, and end up with the best possible divorce outcome possible.
Paulette also offers HR solutions, tools and resources for employees going through divorce. Saving money, time, energy and bad decisions to make breakups as painless as possible for employees and companies.
I am so excited to have Paulette as a Divorced Girl Smiling trusted partner!
Sincerely,
Jackie Pilossoph, Editor-in-chief, Divorced Girl Smiling
