Peaceful Uncoupling

Stay or Separate?

Exploring Alternatives to Acrimonious Litigation

A couple stands at a crossroads with four winding paths leading up to a sprout, a star, a heart, and a sun.

What Is It?

Peaceful Uncoupling

Relationships usually begin with joy and hope, but sometimes things go awry and a couple faces "uncoupling" (i.e. a breakup, separation, or even a divorce). While this transition can be painful and conflict-filled, it doesn’t have to be.

Peaceful uncoupling offers a more respectful, cooperative path forward. I help couples move from an intact relationship into a new chapter with compassion, dignity, and a focus on the future.

How It Works

Experience Helps Design a Path Forward

1

Divorce Counseling

A safe space for the couple to consider their needs, concerns, and fears as they end their relationship and move forward in their lives — helping with communication and decision-making, particularly when children are involved.

2

Mediation & Collaborative Mediation

As a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator, Dr. Furr addresses the emotional and parenting issues first, before helping you find the financial and legal professionals needed to complete the divorce process.

3

Collaborative Divorce

A private, out-of-court dispute resolution process involving a team approach — trained attorneys, a financial expert, and a mental health facilitator working together for the family. Within the boundaries of the law, couples make decisions for their future — rather than a judge.

4

Parenting Plan Consultation

For parents contemplating separation or living apart, a parenting plan can be developed with the guidance of a psychologist trained in child development to build a structure in the best interest of the child.
