10 Best Group Coaching Platforms for Divorce Coaches (2026)

The best group coaching platforms for divorce coaches do more than host a weekly call. A separation cohort needs a private place where people feel safe, a signed agreement that says clearly you are not their lawyer or therapist, a program that runs week by week while court dates and custody schedules shift, and a way to stay in touch once the paperwork is done. So the question is not "which tool has groups?" but "which tool carries a client from the first frightened search to life after the decree without five logins?"

Our pick is Coachful. One subscription covers the booking page for a free consultation, the coaching agreement with e-signature, the multi-week group program with check-ins, the private community and the email follow-up, all under your branding in one client app. We make Coachful, so read the ranking criteria below and judge for yourself. The other nine tools are ranked on what their vendors document and what public reviewers report; we did not run hands-on tests.

If you want the broader view first, our guide to the best group coaching platforms covers the category across every niche, and best software for divorce coaches covers the whole practice stack beyond groups.

What does a divorce coach's client journey look like in a group program?

It runs in four stages: attract, enroll, deliver and retain. Each stage has a job the software must do, and divorce work adds a few requirements that a fitness or business cohort never has to think about.

Stage 1: Attract (the late-night search)

People rarely look for a divorce coach calmly. They search after a hard conversation, a lawyer's first invoice or a mediation session that went badly. What helps at this stage is a quiet, credible website, a free resource that meets the moment (a "first 30 days after separation" checklist, a co-parenting communication guide, a questions-to-ask-your-attorney worksheet) and an easy way to book a short consultation. Discretion matters: some prospects share a laptop or an email account with the spouse they are leaving, so a lead magnet should not trigger a loud sequence with a revealing subject line.

Stage 2: Enroll (scope before money)

Enrollment is where divorce coaching is most different. Before anyone pays, they should understand what coaching is and is not. A divorce coach supports decisions, organisation, emotional steadiness and communication; they do not give legal advice, do financial planning that needs a licence, or provide therapy. A good enrollment flow includes an application or intake form (to screen for situations such as domestic abuse, where a group setting may be wrong and a referral to specialist support comes first), a coaching agreement with that scope line signed before the first call, and checkout with a payment plan, because many clients are suddenly on one income.

Stage 3: Deliver (the cohort itself)

A typical divorce group runs six to twelve weeks: separating emotions from decisions, preparing for mediation or a collaborative law process, building a post-divorce budget with a financial professional's input, co-parenting communication, and rebuilding identity. Delivery needs live group calls, recorded lessons or worksheets released week by week, a private discussion space that is not a public social network, and short check-ins between calls so the coach can see who is struggling before the next session. Members are often in very different legal stages, so a coach also needs 1:1 sessions alongside the group.

Stage 4: Retain (life after the decree)

Clients who finish a separation program often want a lighter next step: a monthly alumni circle, a dating-again or rebuilding-confidence course, or occasional 1:1 sessions around a custody review. Retention needs a membership or subscription, an alumni community and email that keeps you present without pressure. It is also where referrals come from, which matters in a niche where many clients find you through family lawyers and mediators.

For a deeper look at the business side, see how to start a divorce coaching business and what a divorce coach does.

Which platforms cover which stage?

Only an all-in-one platform covers all four stages; community tools are strong at delivery and weak at enrollment, and practice tools are the reverse. Ranking criteria: one login for the whole client journey, between-session delivery for a group, total stack cost for a divorce practice, and setup effort (including whether someone will build it for you).

How did we choose and rank these tools?

We started from what divorce coaches actually sell: separation and decision cohorts, co-parenting circles, "rebuild" programs, and 1:1 packages that sit beside a group. A tool made the list only if a divorce coach could run a paid group on it today. Pricing and limits come from each vendor's public pricing page as listed in October 2026 (Heartbeat and Teachable were checked in November 2026), and ratings are the public Trustpilot scores where we recorded them.

• Whole journey in one place. A client in crisis should not be juggling a booking link, a separate e-sign tool, a community app and a course login.
• Between-session support. Check-ins, habits and private reflections matter more in divorce work than in most niches, because the hardest moments happen between calls.
• Scope and privacy tools. Signed agreements, intake screening, and a private (not public-social) group space.
• Total monthly cost at realistic group sizes, including transaction fees.
• Setup effort for a solo coach who would rather coach than configure software.

1. Coachful: the whole separation journey under one login

Coachful is a coaching platform that puts booking, payments, agreements, programs, courses, community, a website with funnels, email and an AI assistant into one subscription, with one login for you and one branded app for your clients. It is built for coaches who deliver programs rather than isolated sessions, which is exactly the shape of a divorce cohort. Coachful is based in Tallinn, Estonia, and holds a 4.5 Trustpilot score from 21 reviews.

How a divorce cohort runs inside Coachful

You build the cohort as a multi-week program: weekly goals ("prepare your three questions for mediation", "draft your co-parenting message template"), daily tasks, habits and morning and evening check-ins. When a client enrolls, Coachful creates a cohort group automatically, so the group chat and discussion space exist from day one without manual setup. Group calls and webinars run on built-in video or through auto-created Zoom, Meet or Teams links, and the client sees everything in their branded home and app.

The check-ins are what make the difference in this niche. A morning check-in asking "how steady do you feel today?" and an evening one asking "what is one thing you handled well?" give you a quiet signal. Each client's record shows their goals, check-ins, habits, notes, intake answers, payments and sessions, with a status of thriving, active, quiet or at risk. When someone in week four goes quiet after a difficult hearing, you can see it and reach out before the next group call rather than discovering it there.

Here is a short walkthrough of how programs are built and delivered:

Enrollment with the scope line signed first

Coaching agreements with e-signature go out before the first call and are stored on the client record, so your "I am not your attorney, therapist or financial adviser" clause is signed, not just mentioned. Booking pages accept intake questions, which is where you can ask whether there is a safety concern, whether the client has legal representation, and what stage of the process they are in. Payments run through your own Stripe Connect or Razorpay account with one-time payments, subscriptions, payment plans, coupons and refunds, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay. Coachful charges a 0% platform fee; only the processor's fees apply.

Attract and retain without extra tools

The section-based website builder includes a blog, custom domain, SEO settings and 30 designed homepage templates. Lead-magnet, application, booking and checkout funnels capture people who download your separation checklist, and email sequences with triggers, delays and branching follow up. Because sequences are yours to write, you can keep subject lines neutral for clients who may share an inbox. After the program, the same account carries a subscription alumni circle, a community feed with video events, and courses for the next chapter, such as a dating-again module. You can learn more on the Coachful page for divorce coaches and the group coaching software overview.

Michelle, the built-in AI assistant, works from your live practice data: she can draft a week of program content, write the follow-up email after a group call, summarize recorded sessions and brief you before a 1:1. Questions and planning are included in your Coachful membership; confirmed builds and changes use AI credits. If you are working toward an ICF credential, Coachful also counts coaching hours and distinct clients against ACC, PCC and MCC thresholds and exports an ICF client coaching log (see ICF hour tracking).

Why Coachful stands out: a free white-glove service. From Create > We'll build it for you, you describe what you need (a calm website with every button leading to a free consultation, a "first 30 days" lead-magnet funnel, an eight-week separation program, an application form, an alumni email sequence) and attach up to 8 reference links and up to 10 files such as your logo, photos and existing copy. The Coachful team builds it inside your own account, usually within about 24 hours. Nothing is invented: no fake credentials, testimonials or prices; gaps are left for you to fill. It does not cover recording videos, logo design, ad management or ongoing marketing. A leadership coach with a Squarespace renewal days away, for example, got one clean homepage with a repeated "talk with me" button. Read more about the free white-glove service.

Where Coachful is not the right fit

Coachful is not HIPAA-certified and does not sign a BAA, so if you are also a licensed therapist keeping clinical notes, those belong in a clinical system. There is no PayPal and no permanent free plan. The client app ships under the Coachful listing with your branding, not under your own App Store account. There are no routing forms that pick a host from form answers, and no Salesforce or HubSpot integration. Pricing is a flat monthly plan; lower plans cap the number of clients and Pro is unlimited (current plans: Lite: $29/month for up to 5 clients; Solo: $49/month for up to 20 clients; Pro: $99/month with unlimited clients; Studio: $199/month with unlimited clients). To start, take a free trial and request the white-glove build.

2. Circle: a polished community for a large separation membership

Circle is a community platform with spaces, courses, events, live streams and paid memberships. For a divorce coach, its strength is the members' experience once they are inside: well-organised spaces (one for "the first weeks", one for co-parenting, one for alumni), threaded discussions and scheduled events.

Price as listed in October 2026: Professional $89/month billed annually (3 admins, 10 moderators, 2,500 AI credits), Business $199/month annually, Scale $419/month annually, and custom-priced Circle Plus. Circle takes a platform fee on payments of 2% on Professional, 1% on Business and Scale, and 0.5% on Circle Plus, on top of Stripe processing. A 14-day free trial with no card is offered. Circle holds a 4.1 Trustpilot score from 129 reviews.

Limits for this niche: there is no 1:1 scheduling or client back office, no per-client habits or check-ins, and no coaching agreements, so you would add a booking tool and an e-sign tool for enrollment. Branded mobile apps are only on custom-priced Circle Plus.

Pick it over Coachful if you run a large, mostly self-directed divorce support membership where peer discussion is the product and you already have separate tools for booking, contracts and 1:1 work.

3. Mighty Networks: community plus courses with Mighty-branded apps

Mighty Networks combines community, courses, events and livestreams. A divorce coach could run a "rebuilding after divorce" network with a course for each phase, weekly livestreamed Q&As and member discussion in one place. Livestream limits are listed per plan, which helps when you plan group call capacity.

Listed pricing (October 2026): Launch $95/month or $79/month annually (3 hosts, 200 GB, livestream 20 hours a month for up to 100 attendees); Scale $215/month or $179/month annually; Growth $354/month annually; and custom-priced Mighty Pro. The Mighty platform fee is 2% on Launch, 1% on Scale and 0.5% on Growth and Mighty Pro, plus Stripe. There is a 14-day trial without a card. Trustpilot shows 3.3 from 219 reviews.

What it leaves out: no 1:1 scheduling, invoicing or contracts, and no per-client habits, check-ins or private coaching plans. Member apps carry Mighty's branding unless you move to Mighty Pro.

Pick it over Coachful if your offer is mostly a content-and-community membership with livestreams, you rarely do 1:1 work, and you are comfortable adding separate tools for agreements and private sessions.

4. Kajabi: a sales engine for courses and paid communities

Kajabi is a course, community, website, funnel and email platform for selling knowledge products. Divorce coaches who sell a self-paced "navigating your divorce" course alongside a paid community find its marketing side capable: websites, funnels, email and checkout live in one place, which covers the attract stage well.

What it costs: as listed in October 2026, Basic is $179/month or $143/month annually (5 products, 2,500 contacts, 1 community, 0 AI credits), Growth $249/month or $199/month annually, and Pro $499/month or $399/month annually. Kajabi Payments in the US charges 2.9% + $0.30 on Basic, falling slightly on higher plans; using another processor adds a Kajabi fee of 0.5% to 2%. The standard trial is 14 days. Kajabi shows 3.4 on Trustpilot from 2,347 reviews.

Gaps for group divorce coaching: coaching is structured as products and communities rather than per-client plans, and there is no habit tracking or daily check-in. Basic caps at 5 products and 2,500 contacts, which a coach with a lead magnet can reach. Kajabi's plan information does not list e-signed coaching agreements.

Pick it over Coachful if most of your revenue comes from selling self-paced courses to a large email list and the group is a bonus rather than the core of what you deliver.

5. Satori: a lean back office for 1:1 work beside a small group

Satori is a coaching practice tool with scheduling, a client portal, packages and programs, invoices and contracts. Its fit for divorce coaches is the enrollment stage: contracts, packages and invoicing are in one place, and only active clients count toward billing, which suits a practice where clients come and go with their legal timeline.

Pricing listed in October 2026: Essentials $33/month ($27.50 annually) for up to 10 active paying clients; Pro $49/month ($40.83 annually), which an older profile lists at 50 active clients; Leader $124/month ($103.33 annually), listed in an older profile at 150 active clients. A free Scholar tier exists for people studying for a coaching certification, by application. The trial is 15 days without a card. Satori does not charge on client payments; standard PayPal and Stripe fees apply.

Where it stops: an older profile lists no native mobile app, no native Zoom integration, and no landing pages, courses or community. For a group program, you would need a separate community tool and a way to run the group's content.

Pick it over Coachful if you mainly do 1:1 divorce coaching with a very small occasional group, you want PayPal as a payment option, and you are happy to keep your website and community elsewhere.

6. CoachAccountable: action plans and worksheets with per-client pricing

CoachAccountable is a coaching back office covering sessions, action plans, metrics, worksheets, courses, invoicing and agreements. For divorce work, its action plans and worksheets suit structured decision prep: a client can complete a "priorities before mediation" worksheet and you can track their follow-through.

The price ladder (October 2026): Starter $20/month for 2 active clients, Level 1 $40 for 5, Level 2 $70 for 10, Level 3 $120 for 20, Level 4 $250 for 50, and Level 5 $400 for 100. The trial lasts 30 days with no card and no limits. Trustpilot shows 4.8 from 47 reviews.

Trade-offs: pricing per active client gets expensive for group programs, because every cohort member counts. An older profile lists no native mobile app, and no website, landing pages or marketing automation. CoachAccountable also states (per an older profile) that it is not HIPAA compliant.

Pick it over Coachful if you coach a small number of high-touch divorce clients, value detailed action-plan and metrics tracking above everything else, and already have a website and email tool you like.

7. Simply.Coach: structured programs with per-tier caps

Simply.Coach is a coaching practice platform with contracts, programs, sessions, booking pages, a client portal and business tiers. Divorce coaches who work partly with organisations (for example, an employee assistance arrangement) may find the business tiers with sponsors and program managers useful.

Listed in October 2026: Starter $9/month (3 active coachees, 1 contract, 1 program), Essentials $29/month (7 coachees, 3 contracts, 3 programs), Growth $49/month (30 coachees, 10 contracts and programs), Leap $69/month (unlimited coachees, contracts and programs), plus business tiers CoCreate at $79 and Surge at $159 per active coach. A 14-day trial needs no card.

Watch for: client, contract and program caps on every solo tier below Leap; a divorce coach running two cohorts plus 1:1 clients will hit the contract cap quickly on lower tiers. There are no refunds for mid-period cancellations, and automated invoices were marked "Coming Soon" on the solo pricing page. The pricing pages do not list a community or a website builder.

Pick it over Coachful if your divorce coaching is sponsored by an employer or organisation and you need sponsor and program-manager roles more than a public website, funnels and a community.

8. Heartbeat: an affordable community with courses and events

Heartbeat is a community platform with discussions, courses, documents, events, landing and checkout pages, and workflows. For a divorce coach starting a paid peer circle, it is one of the cheaper ways to get a private community with courses and events in one place, and its pricing page lists Zoom and Google Calendar integrations.

Pricing when we checked in November 2026: Build $49/month or $40/month billed annually (up to 350 members, 5 automation workflows, 1 custom landing page, custom domain, Heartbeat branding); Grow $149/month or $124/month annually (up to 5,000 members, unlimited workflows, branding removed); Scale $849/month or $766/month annually with a white-label branded mobile app. Heartbeat adds a transaction fee of 5% on Build, 2.5% on Grow and 1.25% on Scale, on top of Stripe's processing. A 14-day trial needs no card.

The catch: a 5% fee on Build adds up on a high-priced separation cohort, and the pricing page does not list 1:1 scheduling, coaching agreements, per-client check-ins or a full website. You would pair it with a booking and contract tool.

Pick it over Coachful if you want a low-cost community for a peer support circle, expect modest revenue through it so the transaction fee stays small, and handle 1:1 sessions elsewhere.

9. Skool: a simple group with a classroom and leaderboard

Skool puts a community, a classroom and a calendar into one group, with gamified leaderboards. Its simplicity is the appeal: a divorce coach can open a group, upload a few lessons and schedule weekly calls in an afternoon.

October 2026 pricing: Hobby $9/month ($7.50 annually) with a 10% + 30¢ fee on all transactions; Pro $99/month ($82.50 annually) with 2.9% + 30¢ up to $899 and 3.9% + 30¢ above $900. Payments only run through Skool Payments, with weekly payouts. The pricing page shows "try for free" buttons but did not state the trial length. Skool holds 1.6 on Trustpilot from 54 reviews.

Why it ranks lower for divorce work: there is no custom-domain website, funnels, email automation or public API, and no 1:1 client records, intake forms, habits or check-ins. Gamified leaderboards can also feel out of place for people going through a painful life event, though you can choose how you use them.

Pick it over Coachful if you want the quickest possible route to a paid community, your audience already lives on Skool, and you do not need agreements, intake screening or private client records inside the same tool.

10. Teachable: self-paced divorce courses first

Teachable is a course platform with sales pages, checkout, built-in email, memberships, drip content, quizzes and iOS and Android student apps. It suits a divorce coach whose group program is really a course with a live call added, such as a "co-parenting communication" course sold to clients that family lawyers refer.

Plans when we checked in November 2026: Starter $39/month ($29 annually) with 5 products and a 7.5% transaction fee; Builder $89/month ($69 annually) with 10 products and 0% transaction fee; Growth $189/month ($139 annually) with 50 products; and a custom plan. Each paid plan lists a 7-day free trial and a 30-day guarantee.

Limits: the pricing page centres on courses and digital products; it does not list coaching agreements, per-client check-ins, a community space or 1:1 scheduling, so the delivery and enrollment stages of a divorce cohort need other tools. The 7.5% fee on Starter is high for a premium program.

Pick it over Coachful if you are building a course business first, plan to sell mostly self-paced material at volume, and treat live group support as an occasional add-on.

Which features matter most, tool by tool?

The features that matter most for divorce groups are signed agreements, intake screening, between-session check-ins and a private community. This matrix shows who documents what.

"Not documented" means the vendor information we used did not confirm the feature; check the vendor's documentation for your exact use.

What does each platform cost at 5, 15 and 40 clients?

Monthly list prices, before payment processing, for the cheapest plan that fits each group size. Platform transaction fees are noted because they rise with revenue.

An example of how fees change the picture: a cohort of 15 clients at an illustrative $600 each brings in $9,000. A 5% platform fee takes $450 of that, a 7.5% fee takes $675, and a 10% fee takes $900, every time you run the cohort. For help setting the program price itself, see is a divorce coach worth it, which covers what clients weigh, and our guide to coaching packages.

Should you choose an all-in-one platform or assemble a stack?

For most solo divorce coaches, an all-in-one costs less and is easier on clients, because a person in the middle of a separation should not need four passwords. Assembled stacks make sense when you already love one specialist tool. Here are two example recipes with list prices as of October and November 2026; your mix will differ.

Recipe A: the all-in-one

Coachful alone covers the website, lead-magnet funnel, consultation booking, signed agreement, payment plan, eight-week program with check-ins, cohort group, alumni community and email (Solo: $49/month for up to 20 clients for 15 clients). Add only payment processing from your own Stripe or Razorpay account. One login, one client app, one export if you ever leave.

Recipe B: the assembled community stack

An example assembled stack for the same 15-client cohort: Circle Professional for the community at $89/month (annual), Satori Pro for 1:1 sessions, contracts and invoices at $49/month, and Teachable Starter for the course at $39/month. That is $177/month in subscriptions before any website builder or email tool, plus Circle's 2% and Teachable's 7.5% on sales that run through them. Clients get three logins, and you reconcile three sets of records.

Recipe C: the low-cost starter

A coach testing demand might run Skool Hobby at $9/month for the group and a free scheduling link. It is cheap to start, but the 10% fee on every sale and the lack of agreements, intake screening and client records mean it rarely holds up beyond a first pilot cohort.

How would a divorce coach set this up in Coachful, step by step?

A divorce coach can set up a full separation cohort in Coachful in a few working sessions, or hand most of it to the free white-glove build. Here is an example sequence for an eight-week "Steady Through Separation" group.

1. Request the build. From Create > We'll build it for you, ask for a five-page site, a "First 30 Days After Separation" lead-magnet funnel, an application form and the eight-week program outline. Attach your logo, headshot and any existing copy.
2. Write your scope clause. Draft the coaching agreement: what coaching covers, that you do not give legal, financial or therapeutic advice, confidentiality and its limits, and when you refer to an attorney, mediator, financial professional or therapist. Have a local lawyer review it, since rules vary by state and country. Set it to send before the first call.
3. Add screening questions. On the consultation booking page, ask where the client is in the process (considering, filed, in mediation, finalised), whether they have legal representation, and whether there are safety concerns. If someone reports abuse or fear for their safety, refer them to specialist support before considering a group.
4. Build the program weeks. Week 1: stabilising and support map. Week 2: emotions versus decisions. Week 3: organising documents for your attorney. Week 4: preparing for mediation (see divorce mediation for the process). Week 5: co-parenting communication. Week 6: post-divorce budget questions for your financial professional. Week 7: identity and boundaries. Week 8: the next 90 days.
5. Add check-ins and habits. A morning steadiness check-in, an evening "one thing I handled well" reflection, and a simple habit such as a daily walk or ten minutes of journaling.
6. Set up checkout. Connect Stripe, create the cohort offer with a payment plan option, and add a coupon for referrals from partner lawyers or mediators if you use one.
7. Schedule the group calls. Create the weekly group session with built-in video or auto-created Zoom links, plus 1:1 session credits for members who need individual time around a hearing.
8. Write the email sequences. A neutral-subject nurture sequence for lead-magnet downloads and an alumni sequence that invites graduates into a monthly circle.
9. Open the alumni circle. Create a monthly subscription that gives graduates access to the community, a monthly live call and a follow-on course.

What mistakes do divorce coaches make with group platforms?

• Running a sensitive group on a public social network. Members may be in active litigation; a private, invitation-only space is safer than a public group tied to personal profiles.
• Skipping the signed scope agreement. A verbal "I'm not a lawyer" is easy to forget in a crisis. Get it signed before the first call.
• No intake screening. Someone in an abusive situation, or whose ex is in the same local network, may not be safe or comfortable in a group. Screen first.
• Paying per client for a group. Per-active-client pricing that works for 1:1 practices can multiply your software bill when a cohort grows.
• Ignoring transaction fees. A low subscription with a 5% to 10% fee can cost more than a higher flat plan once a cohort sells out.
• Only offering a group. Members' legal timelines differ, so plan 1:1 time for hearing weeks and big decisions.
• Losing alumni. Without a retention offer, graduates drift away and stop referring.

How do you migrate an existing divorce group to a new platform?

Move between cohorts, not during one. Changing tools mid-program adds stress for clients who already have plenty.

• Export first. Download your client list, signed agreements, worksheets and course files from the old tool before cancelling.
• Let Coachful import it. Clients, programs and content are imported for you during onboarding, and the white-glove build can rebuild your website or funnel.
• Re-sign agreements for new cohorts. Existing clients' signed copies can be kept on file; new clients sign the updated version.
• Tell members once, plainly. One short email with the new login link and what stays the same.
• Keep the old community read-only for a few weeks so nobody loses a conversation they valued.
• Check your exit too. Coachful exports full client data as a ZIP (roster, notes, check-ins, goals, habits, sessions, form responses) and courses can be exported.

Which group coaching platform should a divorce coach choose?

Choose Coachful if you want the full journey (consultation booking, a signed scope agreement, a multi-week cohort with check-ins, a private group, alumni membership and email) under one login, with a 0% platform fee and a free white-glove build to get started. Choose Circle or Mighty Networks if a large peer membership is the product and you will add booking and contracts elsewhere. Choose Kajabi or Teachable if self-paced courses drive most of your revenue. Choose Satori, CoachAccountable or Simply.Coach if you are mostly 1:1 and the group is small. Heartbeat and Skool are low-cost ways to test a peer circle, with fees that grow as you sell more.

In short: Coachful is a coaching platform for coaches who deliver programs, including divorce coaches running cohorts beside 1:1 work. It does booking, agreements, payments, programs, community, website, funnels and email in one place. It is not HIPAA-certified, has no PayPal and no permanent free plan. Start with a free trial and ask the team to build your site, funnel or program for you.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best group coaching platform for divorce coaches?

Coachful ranks first because it covers every stage of a divorce client's journey in one place: website and lead magnet, consultation booking with intake questions, e-signed agreements, a multi-week program with check-ins, a private cohort group and alumni membership. Community tools such as Circle and Mighty Networks are strong for discussion but lack agreements and 1:1 records.

Can I run a divorce support group on Skool or a social media group?

You can, but think about privacy and scope. Skool has no intake forms, agreements or private client records, and social media groups are tied to personal profiles that a former spouse may be able to see. A private space with screening and a signed agreement is safer for people in active proceedings.

Do divorce coaches need a signed coaching agreement for group programs?

Yes, it is strongly advisable. The agreement should state that coaching is not legal, financial or therapeutic advice, explain confidentiality in a group and its limits, and say when you will refer to an attorney, mediator or therapist. This is not legal advice; laws vary by state and country, so have a local lawyer review your template.

How many people should be in a divorce coaching group?

There is no official standard. Many coaches keep cohorts small enough that every member can speak on each call, and add 1:1 time for members facing a hearing or major decision. Choose a platform whose pricing does not punish you for growing the group.

Is Coachful HIPAA-compliant for divorce coaching?

No. Coachful is not HIPAA-certified and does not sign a BAA. Divorce coaching is not clinical care, but if you are also a licensed therapist keeping clinical records, those belong in a clinical system.

What is Coachful's free white-glove service?

It is a build service included on every plan. You describe what you need, such as a website, a lead-magnet funnel, a program or an email sequence, attach up to 8 links and 10 files, and the Coachful team builds it inside your account, usually within about 24 hours. It does not include recording videos, logo design, ad management or ongoing marketing.

Which platforms charge transaction fees on group program sales?

As listed in October and November 2026: Skool (10% on Hobby, card-style rates on Pro), Teachable Starter (7.5%), Heartbeat (1.25% to 5%), Circle and Mighty Networks (0.5% to 2%), and Kajabi when you use a non-Kajabi processor (0.5% to 2%). Coachful charges a 0% platform fee; only your Stripe or Razorpay processing applies.

Can I combine 1:1 divorce coaching and a group program on one platform?

Yes, on Coachful you can sell 1:1 session credits alongside a group program, and each member's record shows their sessions, check-ins and notes. Our guide to platforms with group and 1:1 coaching compares other options.

Should I take payment plans for a divorce coaching cohort?

Many clients are adjusting to a single income or waiting on a settlement, so a payment plan can make enrollment possible. Coachful supports payment plans, subscriptions and coupons through your own Stripe or Razorpay account. Check with an accountant about how you record income from instalments.

How do I find clients for a divorce coaching group?

Common routes are a helpful lead magnet, referral relationships with family lawyers and mediators, and content that answers early questions. See platforms to get clients for divorce coaches for channels and how to approach them.
