Divorce, Custody & Co-Parenting Counseling

Christ-centered guidance for parents navigating divorce and custody battles

When Your Family Enters Crisis, You Deserve Church Leaders Who Won’t Turn Away

Divorce. Custody battles. High-conflict co-parenting. These are some of the most emotionally & spiritually destructive experiences a parent will ever face. And yet—when Christians go through them—the Church often falls silent.

People walk into divorce feeling abandoned, ashamed, and spiritually disqualified. They assume that because the marriage broke, they must be broken in God’s eyes too. So they stop reaching out. They stop praying. They stop showing up. They walk through the darkest valley alone.

But Scripture never tells people to walk alone.

Jesus didn’t turn away from the woman at the well because of her past. He didn’t shame her for her failures. He met her in her crisis.

Psalm 23 doesn’t say “when you die.” It says “when you walk through the valley of the shadow.” That valley includes divorce. It includes custody court. It includes co-parenting with someone who wounds you.

A Family Court Chaplain is here to walk with you through it.

A Chaplaincy Built for Real-World Family Court Trauma

This chaplaincy service exists for one reason:

To shepherd parents through divorce, custody conflict, and co-parenting without losing their faith, their integrity, or their children’s emotional safety.

You don’t need a sermon. You don’t need judgment. You don’t need someone to tell you that “God hates divorce” while you’re fighting to protect your kids.

You need a spiritual first responder who understands:

• high-conflict behaviors

• custody dynamics

• parenting plans

• emotional manipulation

• litigation stress

• co-parenting trauma

• the culture of family court

• AND the heart of God

That is what this ministry provides.

100% Legally Protected Clergy Confidentiality

Everything shared in your sessions is protected under:

• clergy-penitent privilege

• spiritual counseling confidentiality

• chaplaincy confidentiality standards

This protection is recognized in all 50 states and is stronger than most mental-health confidentiality laws.

Your story stays with your chaplain. Your pain stays with your chaplain. Your faith walk stays with your chaplain. Nothing leaves the room.

This is not therapy and not legal advice. It is chaplaincy. It is soul care. It is crisis guidance. It is what the Church was meant to provide—but often doesn’t.

Your Valley Doesn’t Disqualify You

Divorce is not the end of your walk with God. Custody conflict is not a sign that He has abandoned you. Your story is not over. Your faith is not disqualified.

We must be reminded of the name Immanuel, meaning "God is with us." God is with you in the courtroom. God is with you in the conflict. God is with you in the crisis.

And a chaplain will be there with you too.
