New Beginnings

Life after divorce has the potential to be secure, gratifying and adventurous. There are, however, some "pot-holes" that can throw things off course. Fortunately, we have examined the challenges of this phase of life and have designed resources to alert you to potential problems so that you can avoid the stress and hardships they bring.

New Beginnings InSite Programs

ARC's innovative webinar programs allow you to participate in a live presentation with an experienced therapist, attorney or financial planner using the convenience and anonymity of your home computer. You and the other group participants are able to ask questions of the presenter via web-based chat and receive answers from the presenter during the program.

New Beginnings is a four part series that can help you:

Build new and successful relationships
Adjust to being a single parent
Secure your new financial future
Understand the important legal issues that can arise after divorce

Remarriage

There are two reasons that second and third marriages are likely to end in divorce. The first reason is that couples remarry too quickly. The second reason is that blended families are much more challenging for everyone involved.

The Couple Checkup

The Couple Checkup is strongly recommended for those couples who are dating and or are engaged. It will help couples identify their strengths and weaknesses as well as make good decisions about their prospects for a healthy marriage.

It is designed to activate dialogue, discovery, and increase the overall quality of your relationship.

A powerful and unique aspect of the Checkup is that the questions are tailored to you as a couple. Based on background questions you answer, your Checkup will be customized to include questions specific to your couple type.

Within 30 seconds after you have both completed the Checkup online, you may view and print your Checkup Report. You will receive a 15-20 page Computer Report, with your results broken down into relational categories. Unless you have a prepaid voucher, the Checkup costs $29.95. Couples consider it an economical and worthwhile investment in their current and future relationship.

The Couple Checkup Coaching Session

Following completion of the Couple Checkup, schedule an appointment with an ARC Therapist at coaching@alpharesourcecenter.com, for a one-hour coaching session to discuss the results of your Couple Checkup. At the end of the session, the Therapist will make recommendations if more follow up is needed.

Unless you have a prepaid voucher, the Coaching Session costs $90.00 for valuable insight into building and maintaining a satisfying relationship.

Prenuptial Agreement

When a couple marries, the law immediately imposes rights and obligations on both husband and wife. In some cases the couple may wish to create their own rights and obligations rather than have them imposed by the law.

In those cases, a prenuptial agreement is a very important tool. These agreements must be prepared and signed with a great deal of knowledge and caution. Therefore, it is always important to seek the help of experienced professionals. Contact an ARC professional at ARCProf@alpharesourcecenter.com for more information.

Community Outreach Programs

ARC professionals provide community education programs, presentations for groups and events as well as support for organizations that can benefit from our expertise.

Articles: Knowledge is power particularly when you are dealing with a challenging transition like divorce. Alpha provides a broad spectrum of in depth articles about the legal, financial and emotional aspects of divorce.

Books: The self-help shelves of bookstores and on-line sources are full of books on the topic of divorce. We have taken some of the guess work out of making a choice by reviewing the literature and providing you with what we feel are the best books for adults and children on this topic.

Links: Certain organizations, like ARC, distinguish themselves by providing valuable information and contacts for divorcing individuals. These sources are provided to assist you in finding other valuable resources.

Referrals: Fortunately, there are many knowledgeable professionals who are available to assist people in navigating through the various hurdles divorce presents. We have screened these professionals so that we can provide you with contacts that are more reliable than those you will find in general directories.
