I'm Danielle Black, your Specialist Separation, Divorce, and Co-Parenting Coach, here to guide Australian women through the stormy waters of separation, divorce, court preparation and effective co-parenting. 
This bonus episode of the Post-Separation Abuse Podcast is part of the 'Safe-Guarding' series, where I unpack the different ways in which you can safe-guard yourself from accusations of alienation, withholding and gatekeeping.

Throughout the podcast, I emphasise the power of preparation and the importance of flexibility in thinking. I discuss the necessity of demonstrating your ability to consider alternative parenting arrangements, even in the face of family violence or post-separation abuse.
 It's not just about being heard, but also about how you're perceived, which can profoundly influence the recommendations in child impact reports - something that can have a significant impact on your overall outcome. 

I'm a specialist Separation, Divorce & Co-Parenting Coach based in Melbourne, Australia.

I support women to strategically navigate ongoing control and other forms of abuse after separation, and to optimise their outcome for themselves and their children.

Part of my specialist coaching includes helping women to optimise their court outcomes, particularly parenting arrangements. If you are navigating the court system with a controlling former partner, or suspect that you might in the future, I can help.
