"As a family law attorney, I have seen firsthand how challenging the divorce process can be—both emotionally and logistically. Time and again, Temple has provided my clients with the clarity, confidence, and support they need to navigate this difficult transition successfully.

Divorce is often overwhelming, particularly when it involves complex financial decisions and co-parenting dynamics. Temple has an extraordinary ability to help clients determine their priorities in negotiating financial matters, ensuring they are well-prepared for mediation and litigation and able to make informed decisions that serve their long-term best interests. Temple plays a critical role in assisting her client’s with developing effective, child-focused parenting plans.  She helps parents consider provisions they may not have even thought about. By helping clients anticipate potential co-parenting challenges and strategize solutions, Temple empowers them to foster healthier, more productive co-parenting relationships—even in high-conflict situations.

My clients who have worked with Temple are not only better prepared for the legal aspects of divorce, but they also experience less stress and greater confidence both before and throughout the process. As a result, they are able to approach matters with a clearer mindset, make more thoughtful decisions, and move forward with greater stability.  If you are looking for a compassionate, skilled, and highly effective divorce coach, I cannot recommend Temple enough."

~Kama McConaughy Sarkissian, attorney

"Temple empowers me to maintain my sanity.  During years of highly complicated post-decree work in which I have been devoted to protecting my children from an abusive parent, Temple continues to ground me in truth and perspective.  She is a beacon of wisdom, clarity, and pragmatism.  Without her help, my fear would be overwhelming and I, no doubt, would be rendered unable to make the best decisions for my children.  Temple is also highly collaborative and is a stellar contributor to my team of lawyers and therapists. Her voice is one of hope and reason, and there are no words that can adequately express my gratitude for her work." 

~Catherine, client

"As anyone experiencing a separation knows, emotions run high in every direction. I am so grateful to have had a divorce coach help me avoid “emotional mistakes." With Temple, I was able to approach the divorce process from a place of strength rather than fear. I learned to communicate and engage effectively, not emotionally, with others in the process. Divorce is not an easy road, but I was empowered in so many ways, not broken down. She was my lifeline in every sense of the word, and I walked away with tools that made me a stronger person moving forward. I highly, highly recommend Temple as a coach for anyone facing divorce!"

~Julia, client

“Temple Wielde Trigg has been a savior to many of my clients who need direction in changing old unproductive patterns when interacting with difficult spouses.  Temple’s wealth of experience and knowledge helps individuals find new and effective ways to communicate with spouses as well as to develop parenting plans which build in safeguards to make co-parenting possible.”

~Kim Gent, Harris Law

"When I began this journey through divorce, it felt like carrying a heavy weight through a dark tunnel. The unknown was scary and the heavy feelings felt impossible. You created a safe space for me to feel my feelings and allowed me the time I needed to process them and sit with them, without rushing me or making me feel like I needed to be further than I was. The freedom and the kindness you held for me lifted some of the weight as I navigated the dark unknown of what divorce meant for my life. You were (and are) a safe space for me to process, as well as a gentle nudge towards what I value and desire for in my life. Without you on my journey walking along side me and helping me see that the feelings I had were normal, I wouldn’t be where I am. I know you say that I did the work, and I did, but you empowered me and gave me the courage to do the work. You held the flashlight for my next step when I didn’t think I could go any further.  I never thought I would feel the freedom that I feel now. Your time and coaching were worth so much to me!" 

~Jane, client

"Temple is an excellent resource to educate clients on the actual impact and day-to-day realities of the different parenting schedule options and an invaluable resource to help parents determine what kind of co-parenting relationship they want.  She helps clients save time and money and offers valuable tools to manage difficult co-parenting relationships."

~James Cordes, Kinnett & Cordes

"Temple gave me strength and grounding to make sure I was putting my kids first, instead of being unnecessarily concerned with the life my ex was choosing.  I highly recommend Temple as a divorce coach because of her strategic and positive navigation through what is a most difficult time."

~Mark, client

"Temple helped me get through one of the hardest seasons in my life. After my divorce I thought I could figure out how to get through my emotions, paper work and new beginnings on my own. After a couple of months I realized I needed someone else to help show me the way. Temple was amazing at not only focusing on how far I had already come but also helping me continue to move forward. There was little looking back and feeling sorry for myself. Everything was focusing on the positive movement forward. After we did many one on one sessions, I then joined Temple for the Divorce Care group. The group setting gave me an even better understanding that my feelings are valid and that others who are also going through divorce are feeling the same emotions that I am. I highly recommend Temple to anyone who is going through a divorce. My only regret was not finding Temple sooner."

~Kristen, client

"There are many dimensions to going through a divorce, and as an attorney, I can only affect things within the legal sphere. Temple can help with emotional and interpersonal issues so that those issues don't interfere with the decision-making required to make sound business and legal decisions that are fair and in the best interests of children."

~Tamara Vincelette, attorney

"As a realtor in the foothills, I work with many couples who are approaching, in the midst of or just completing separation and divorce. I have sent many clients to work with Temple and every single one has reported back that they could not have imagined the process without her. People in this phase of life are exhausted and confused... Temple is adept at guiding her clients to avoid common mistakes, and is a thoughtful, strategic coach by your side through every step of the process. Through her extensive network, she can help choose the right professionals so that you don’t waste time and money. If you, or someone you know, is thinking about divorce, I highly recommend you give Temple a call."

~Tara Byrnes, realtor

"It has been my pleasure to be acquainted with Temple for 14 years. As an educator, I have seen the devastating consequences of divorce on children. An example of compassion and pragmatism, I watched Temple gracefully navigate her own divorce when I was employed as the Head of her children’s school. Calmly focused, Temple always put the needs of her children first, and I can attest that the family structure she has since created has given her kids exactly what they need to grow and thrive. I know that this is every parent’s primary concern when making the difficult decision to separate. Working with Temple is one of the best ways you can insulate your children in the short-term and create an even better family for them in the long-term."
