I can't thank Paulette enough for her invaluable support during a time when my marriage was hanging by a thread. Her deep knowledge, unwavering support, and flexibility were a lifeline that prevented me from taking the drastic step of divorce. In just two conversations, she provided clarity on my options and helped me find a path forward. Her warmth and empathy felt like a ray of sunshine in my darkest moments. Paulette is a remarkable professional and a genuine blessing. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone facing relationship challenges or contemplating divorce. Her guidance was instrumental in helping me navigate a difficult chapter in my life.

I’m not sure anyone who has been through one would say they had a ‘good’ divorce. It seems to me an oxymoron, kind of like a ‘good’ death. But, as both an attorney and someone who has experienced divorce in multiple ways on a personal and professional level, I can attest to the fact that there definitely ways to have a ‘better’ divorce, and Paulette can absolutely help you find them. She is a powerhouse of knowledge in this arena and is an amazing asset to those struggling through the life-changing upheaval that comes with the process of ending your marriage. Her amazing skill set is unique, creative, and the best way I can think of to come to the other side of divorce as a more whole person. I highly recommend her and her process!

Fayr
Co-Parenting APP

Fayr was born out of two desires: to become a better co-parent, and to make the experience of co-parenting better. After his separation, Michael Daniels found it a constant challenge to be the best, most present father he could be. The time he wanted to spend focused on his children was instead taken up by tedious documentation, scheduling and preparing for court. Why wasn't there an alternative to this time consuming, anxiety producing way co-parents were forced interact? Enter Fayr. Our app encompasses the whole range of co-parents needs - financial, documentation, geo pinpointing, scheduling, communication - for the entire time you're co-parenting. What makes us different? At Fayr, it's not just about efficiency and ease (though we love those). We also help you create a better co-parenting experience by providing tools for: constructive communication, argument diffusion, and emotional support.

We Parent & SupportPay​

By special invitation from Founder Erika Englund, Paulette Rigo is an Advisory Board Member of both Support Pay and We-Parent.

All Better Divorce Academy clients receive lifetime FREE memberships to both!

  • Your code for both products is the same: PROREFER
  • Please note that WeParent is a family subscription, meaning one parent will sign up on behalf of both parents (and/or step-parents)
  • SupportPay is an individual subscription, meaning each parent signs up on his or her own. Both may use the same code. SupportPay is most functional when used by both parents, as that allows for payment/receipt of support and expenses, communications between parents, and a dispute-resolution process. However, it is possible for one parent to utilize SupportPay unilaterally as a way to organize and manage their own records

I won the lottery in divorce.

I am the .001%

97% of divorce does not go to trial  and of the 3% that do go to trial only 1% of that 3% goes to the appellate court!

Well, that was ME.

I personally endured an 8.5 year fully litigated case that included a 12 day trial that took place over 9 months and after all that living hell…(please excuse my french)

there was a FOUR year state supreme appellate court process.

It cost a TON of money, years of my life tied up in court and it nearly destroyed me and my family.

the funny thing during this time I could barely help myself but time and time again other’s reached out to ME for help..

I called my attorney Marty (gutta remember I was born in Boston)

and told him what happening.

I asked him if I should go to law school…
he smiled and said you know Paulette you think like a judge act like a lawyer and feel like a therapist you owe it to give back and help people you my dear have experienced what 99% of people never will… that experience gives you the depth and the breath of the entire divorce process

Full Circle

my personal experience gave me the awareness, skills and strength to help countless others facing mediation, divorce, antagonistic litigation and ever-changing family dynamics.

It drove me to do a tremendous amount of education, training, internship, mentoring and certification and create Better Divorce Academy, author the #1 best selling book, workbook, and the 8-module self-paced course: Better Divorce Blueprint and host The Better Divorce Podcast.

With my team of experts, we blend private mediation with Certified Divorce Coaching to help you stay in control, make wise decisions, and maintain your dignity.

I’m here to transform divorce and create an optimal experience for YOU.

The one I didn’t have 😟

but you can.
