Who We Are
We are moms, therapists, and divorce experts on a mission to help families keep children in the center, not in the middle of divorce.
Two moms. Two divorce professionals. One mission.
We're Kate Alcamo and Dr. Hallie Strauss, co-founders of The Co-Parent Collective.
Kate is a child and adolescent therapist who has spent years watching how adults still carry their parents' divorce decades later.
Hallie is a licensed psychologist, parent coordinator, and evaluator who has spent her career inside the legal process — watching families enter the system without a roadmap.
We come at this from completely different ends of the same broken system, and we kept landing in the same place.
Most parents are flying blind, and their kids are paying for it.
So we built the resource we wish every family had on day one. This guide is where it starts.
The Next Hard Question Is Coming.
P.S. The more familiar you are with these scripts before the questions come up, the steadier you’ll be in the moment, when it matters.
