The Parent Team Membership gives your firm professional resources to improve client outcomes when couples are going through a divorce.

Coparenting Online Course

Divorce doesn’t have to be a nightmare.

As a family law attorney or firm, you’ve seen it all. The yelling matches, the accusations, the flood of emails about extracurriculars and kids’ schedules, the nasty custody battles in court, and everything in between.

There’s a better way to serve your clients… a way that will help your clients navigate divorce, without putting their kids in the middle.

A way you can improve outcomes for your clients and become the premiere family law attorney or firm in town.

The Parent Team Membership will equip you to do just that.

N

Be able to take on more cases because you are able to focus more on the work you love and less on helping clients process their feelings.

N

Feel good about the work you’re doing–not only because you helped your client but also because you positively impacted the entire family unit.

N

Know you did your best to reduce the negative impact of divorce on kids and the possible trauma ongoing conflict can cause.

 With more than 30 years of combined experience in counseling, financial planning, and mediation, we’ve seen how divorce can take its toll on families.

We created Parent Team because we’re convinced it doesn’t have to be that way.

Hey, there

We’re Brandyn and Jen.

We met through our work as “neutrals” in Montana’s Collaborative Divorce Process—Attorneys and law firms all across Montana bring us in to help parents navigate parenting plans and financial matters.

Often, we’ve come away from those conversations feeling the weight of parental conflict. But we’ve also felt hope. The overwhelming majority of parents want to protect their kids from the negative effects of restructuring and divorce. They just need someone to show them how.

Our deepest desire is for parents to find their “how”—the support, tools, and resources they need—through Parent Team.

Common Questions

How many clients can we add? Is it seriously unlimited? What's the catch?

Yes. It’s seriously unlimited.

Rather than messing with a number of “seats” or trying to deal with licensing our course, we decided it’s best to keep it easy.

You can add as many clients as you have in your firm.

If you have 1,000 clients, you can add 1,000 clients. If you have 50 clients, you can add 50 clients. All for the same monthly investment.  

How long do we get access?

You’ll get access for as long as your membership is active. And this goes for the Parent Team Circle for Professionals, too. If your membership is active, you’ll retain access.

What does it mean to resell seats?

If you’d like charge your clients for access to the course (only available on tier 3), you can do that. You’ll get a custom checkout page with a set price (up to $99).

Parent Team will handle the collection of payment from your students and will pay you monthly (less refunds and credit card processing fees).

Can we download the videos?

No. All content is owned and managed by Parent Team, so you’ll be unable to download the content.

What happens if we cancel our membership?

If you decide to cancel your account, we’ll provide you with a templated email you can send to the clients enrolled in the platform allowing them to purchase access on their own at a discounted rate. After 45 days, all students associated with your account will be set to inactive and your account will be deleted.

We will never email your clients on your behalf. 

How does the setup process work?

It’s super easy for you. Once you pay the setup fee and send over a few things, we’ll get started.

Tier 1 set up: We’ll create a custom sign up link and provide it to you. 

Tier 2 & 3 set up: We’ll create a custom branded platform with your logo, branding, and supplementary materials. It will look like it’s from your firm.

It will take 1-2 days of setup for tier 1 and 5-7 days of setup for tiers 2 & 3. 

What is exclusive access?

This is a competitive edge for your business. As such, we want access to the Parent Team Membership to be an exclusive benefit for you. 

If you’re an active member, we won’t allow law firms within that specific area to become a member as well.

How many team members can we add to the Parent Team Circle for Professionals?

Add as many people as you’d like! Your entire firm can join the Parent Team Circle for Professionals, including: attorneys, paralegals, and admin staff. 

You want better outcomes for your clients.

When you help them get on the same team, they’ll get it.
