Solace Divorce Mediation empowers clients to embrace themselves as the absolute best authorities to determine what is in the best interest of their children and to determine a fair and equitable manner to divide the marital property they worked so hard to accumulate. The heart of Solace is children, for we do not want one additional child to be negatively affected by divorce; the foundation of Solace is self-care and self-love, the soul of Solace is authenticity, at at the root, Solace guides our clients through their  journey of healing. We provide our clients with the resources, tools, and skills to help them learn, heal, and grow through their divorce journey and to emerge from the process stronger and more aligned with their life purpose than when they began. Solace recognizes that when people go through divorce they are no longer the caterpillar of their old life, and they are not yet the beautiful butterfly of their new life, they are in the goo of the divorce cocoon… where it is dark, and heavy, and filled with uncomfortable emotions. Solace helps our clients get out of the divorce goo by shifting the way they are viewing and experiencing their divorce journey, from one of destruction to one of empowerment and growth! You are the creator of your life experience, choose to be in control of your divorce journey and use it to change your life for the better! Choose to live an extraordinary life!

Jen Mitchell is a family law attorney in Illinois, with 17 years of experience. Jen practiced as a litigation attorney for the first nine years of her career, serving as the zealous advocate to her clients and advocating for their best interests. After having three children in 39 months, Jen realized that her role in a fundamentally broken family law litigation system was destroying children, families, and people, with the negative effects expanding to the World.
As such, Jen referred all of her litigation cases out and started to focus on creating a NEW way to help couples go through the emotionally difficult divorce process. She created Solace Divorce Mediation, which offers a proprietary process that helps couples restructure their relationship from “married” to “friends” or “co-parents” with a solid foundation of communication, trust, and respect.
Divorce is just as much a legal process as it is an emotional process. Having gone through her own divorce in August 2019, Jen knows how difficult the emotional roller coaster can be and how important it is to create a strong co-parenting relationship for the benefit of your family. Jen incorporates her life coaching skills into her process to provide valuable resources and tools for clients to utilize that enable them to learn as much as they can about themselves, heal from past traumas and experiences that are blocking them, and grow into the people they were meant to be!
