Veritas Post-Divorce Coaching

My name is Annie Osteen and I'm a Certified Divorce Coach, specializing in Post-Divorce Coaching. 

If you want to honestly know "does she get it? Does she truly understand what I'm going through?" Yes. Yes, I do.

My Story---

I married my college sweetheart in 2004. 

We had our daughter in 2006.

We divorced in 2010.

Fast forward to 2014---our first post-divorce litigation.

Fast forward again to 2018---our second post-divorce litigation. 

I had one attorney throughout both sets of litigation, whereas he had two attorneys. I faced endless discovery, mediation, depositions, & finally, a two-day trial in 2019. At the conclusion of our trial, I was granted full custody of our daughter. 

No one can truly prepare you for the level of stress, the constant anxiety, and the sleepless nights that this kind of litigation brings-especially when kids are involved. 

My two very expensive experiences left me thoroughly educated on every single aspect of how to manage (and not manage) post-divorce life. For instance, I learned that truly understanding my parenting plan was crucial. I learned that I couldn't despise my ex more than I loved our daughter. And I quickly learned that emotional decisions don't necessarily equate to good decisions.

After my trial was over, my attorney, who used an exorbitant amount of tough love with me over a span of five years, asked me if I wanted to come to work for her as her paralegal. While I had zero paralegal experience, I absolutely knew all facets of divorce and post-divorce litigation. My days were generally spent drafting & filing pleadings, keeping my attorney's calendar, scheduling hearings/depositions, communicating with clients, etc. However, I quickly realized that my favorite part of being a paralegal was connecting with our clients, walking through their stressful worries with them, and giving them all of the emotional support that they needed. Ultimately, this became my passion, which is why I became a Certified Divorce Coach and how Veritas was born.

I'd love to hear about your goals and how I can help guide you through the emotionally charged situations that come with life after divorce.

However, I do not and will not give you legal advice. That's what the attorneys are for, and there are plenty of good ones out there to do that.

 I am merely someone who will tell you, very honestly and with an abundant amount of transparency (and humor), how to positively handle post-divorce life, especially surrounding co-parenting and communication with your ex.
