# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Preparing for Divorce: A Decision-Making Workshop for Women (Online)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 15 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Mon, 23 Nov, 2026 at 06:00 pm (+00:00)
- **Event Description**: Divorce requires a lot of decisions — often before you feel ready to make them.

The house. Bank accounts. Retirement. Debt. Vehicles. Personal property. Parenting. Support. Taxes. Businesses. Insurance.

Before you can effectively negotiate, settle, or tell professionals what you want them to act on, you need to understand what needs to be decided and what matters to you.

This 90-minute workshop is designed to help you do exactly that.

What We'll Work Through

Together, we'll walk through the major areas that may need to be addressed during divorce, including:

Home & Property: Your marital home, other real estate, household property, appliances, jewelry, sentimental items and other tangible assets

Banking & Retirement: Checking and savings accounts, investments, stocks, bonds, retirement accounts, pensions and other financial assets

Debt & Financial Obligations: Mortgages, auto loans, credit cards, personal loans, business debt and other financial obligations

Vehicles & Business Assets: Cars, recreational vehicles, business interests, equipment and other significant assets

Parenting Decisions: Parenting schedules, holidays, transportation, communication, decision-making, children's needs and the provisions that matter most to you

Support, Taxes & Settlement: Spousal support considerations, income, taxes, selling or keeping assets, settlement tradeoffs and questions that may require professional guidance


You'll also begin separating:
What you know.
What you still need to find out.
What matters most.
What you're willing to negotiate.
What you aren't ready to agree to.
What needs professional advice before you decide.

What You'll Leave With

Your registration includes a guided Divorce Decision-Making Workbook that you'll work through during the session.


Your workbook will be sent to the email address used to register prior to the workshop. If it's helpful for you to work on paper, we encourage you to print it before the workshop and have it ready. You're also welcome to use the digital copy or take notes in whatever way works best for you.


By the end of the workshop, you'll have started organizing:

What you own and owe

The decisions that still need to be made

Your priorities and non-negotiables

Information and documents you still need

Questions to take to your attorney, CPA, financial professional or other specialist

Your next steps for moving forward

You do not need to arrive with everything figured out.

That's the purpose of the workshop. Not to figure it all out, but to get organized, gain clarity about where you are in the process, and better articulate what matters to you and what you still need to understand.

Who This Workshop Is For

This workshop is for women considering, preparing for, or currently navigating divorce in the United States who want to become more informed and organized before making major decisions.

You may be preparing to file, already working with an attorney, representing yourself, preparing for mediation, exchanging settlement proposals, or simply realizing you need a better understanding of the decisions in front of you.

Divorce laws, terminology, court procedures and processes vary by state and jurisdiction. This workshop does not teach the specific laws of each state or replace guidance from professionals familiar with your jurisdiction. But regardless of where your divorce takes place, you still need clarity about the decisions in front of you so you can advocate for yourself and your children and make effective use of the professionals supporting you.

The goal isn't to prepare for a bigger fight. It's to become better prepared for the decisions ahead.

What to Expect

This is a guided educational working session — not a support group or processing space.

Caroline will lead the workshop and walk you through each decision area while you work independently in your own workbook.

Questions are welcome throughout the session. However, we won't use workshop time to process, vent about, or extensively discuss individual relationship circumstances. This allows us to stay focused and make the full 90 minutes useful for everyone attending.

You are never expected to share personal details, financial information, or the circumstances of your divorce with the group.

Because this is an interactive workshop rather than a prerecorded course or webinar, participants are expected to attend with cameras on and be present for the full session. We're all doing the work together, and your presence helps us maintain the engaged, respectful environment we would create in the room together.

Come with your questions. Do the work alongside us. Leave more informed and organized about the decisions ahead.

What to Bring

Have your Divorce Decision-Making Workbook available during the workshop. If working on paper is helpful to you, please print it ahead of time and bring a pen. You may also use the digital workbook or have a notebook nearby.

You may also have information available that helps you think through your circumstances — such as approximate account balances, a list of assets or debts, or notes about parenting considerations — for your own private reference.

You will not be asked to show or share financial, legal, or other personal documents with the group.

Privacy & Online Participation

Attendance is limited to 30 registered women.

Please join from a private, distraction-limited space where you can participate without other people listening to the workshop whenever possible. Headphones are encouraged if they provide additional privacy.

Participants are expected to respect the privacy of the other women attending and not share identifying information about participants outside of the workshop.

Recording, screenshots, screen recording, transcription services, AI meeting assistants or other methods of capturing the workshop or participant conversations are not permitted.

Please avoid driving, working or regularly multitasking during the session. We understand that life happens, but this is a short, interactive working session and we ask participants to set aside the 90 minutes to be present for the work.

You are responsible for protecting your own privacy when choosing where and how you participate. If joining a divorce-related online event creates a specific safety or privacy concern for you, please consider what device, email address and physical location are safest for your circumstances.

Online Access
This workshop is held live via Google Meet.

The Google Meet link, workshop workbook and participation information will be sent to the email address used during registration up to 24 hours before the event begins.

Please plan to join a few minutes early so you have time to confirm your camera, microphone and internet connection are working.

Because this is a live, interactive workshop, please plan to attend at the scheduled time.

About the Facilitator

Caroline Fithen, MA works at the intersection of family transition, women's autonomy, child and family outcomes, and the systems families rely on during difficult seasons. Her background includes Clinical Mental Health Counseling, domestic violence advocacy, child abuse prevention, batterer intervention, coercive control, and legal and civil systems work.

Her work is also informed by lived experience navigating divorce in Lane County, changing family dynamics, and the realities of raising children through and beyond family transition — giving her perspective from both sides of the systems she works alongside.

Today, Caroline supports women through educational workshops and a limited Divorce & Family Strategy 1:1 client caseload, helping them understand complex situations, make informed decisions, and navigate systems with greater clarity and autonomy.

She also operates Facing Giants, a community-based space bringing education, prevention, resources, and community around children and families navigating adversity. Its work is designed to strengthen children and the adults supporting them through opportunities for connection, self-exploration, practical skills, safety and violence-prevention education, and continued growth.

Across her work, Caroline's focus is on better long-term outcomes for women and children — during difficult transitions and in the life that continues afterward.

Important Scope Note

This workshop provides divorce education, organization and decision-making support. It does not provide legal, tax, investment or individualized financial advice and is not mental health treatment.

We will not determine your legal rights or tell you what you should request in your individual divorce.

Instead, this workshop helps you understand the decisions in front of you, identify your priorities, organize the information you need, and become better prepared to advocate for yourself and your children.

The clearer you are about what matters, what you want to accomplish, and where you still need professional guidance, the more effectively you can use the professionals around you. Attorneys, mediators, financial professionals and other specialists have a clearer starting point for advising, advocating and moving the work forward. That clarity can also help you use paid professional time more intentionally — bringing your attorney the legal questions that require their expertise, rather than paying legal rates to sort through questions, decisions or emotional processing that can be worked through elsewhere. Being organized, prepared and able to clearly articulate your priorities may also help reduce unnecessary professional fees while allowing your attorney to focus their time on the legal work only they can do.

Divorce laws, terminology, procedures and professional roles may vary by state and jurisdiction. The workshop provides a framework for organizing and thinking through divorce decisions, but participants should seek jurisdiction-specific legal, tax, financial or other professional guidance when needed.

And ultimately, that's part of the goal: to create more time and mental bandwidth for you to keep living your life while navigating the very real work of divorce. When every question, document and decision isn't competing for space in your head, you have more capacity for your children, your work, your health, your relationships — and the life that is still happening while your divorce is being resolved.
