About Me
Kate Holbrook J.D.
With a Juris Doctor from Ave Maria School of Law, Florida family mediation training, and certification as a divorce coach, I bring both legal education and practical, compassionate guidance to the clients I work with.
I understand how overwhelming the decision to divorce, and the process can feel, especially when you are trying to navigate it on your own. My approach is calm, supportive, and structured – I am here to help you set goals, stay organized, understand your options and move forward with clarity and confidence.
As a divorced mom myself, I have been where you are. I am able to bring a level of understanding and empathy that goes beyond training alone. I know firsthand how emotional, overwhelming and uncertain this process can feel – especially when you are balancing your own well-being with best interest of your children. I am not just helping you navigate the process – I truly understand what you are going through, and I am here to support you and your goals moving forward with clarity, confidence, and care.
Clients choose Holbrook Family Solutions because I provide a thoughtful, neutral space where you can work through all decisions efficiently, without unnecessary conflict, and with a clear path towards resolution.
Q: How can a mediation assist with a pro se divorce?
A: A mediator helps simplify the pro se divorce process by providing a calm, structured environment where both parties can work through their agreements together. Instead of trying to figure everything out on your own, a mediator helps you stay organized, identify the issues that need to be resolved, and have productive, focused conversations.
A mediator can guide you through decisions about property, debts, and - if applicable - parenting plans, while helping ensure that both parties understand and feel comfortable with the final agreement.
While a mediator does not provide legal advice, they help reduce confusion, avoid unnecessary conflict, and make the overall process more efficient and manageable.

Q: What is divorce coaching?
A: Divorce coaching is a practical, forward-focused service that helps individuals navigate the divorce process with clarity, organization, and confidence. It provides guidance on decision-making, communication, and planning, helping clients move through each step with greater ease and support.
Q: What is a Pro Se Divorce?
A: A Pro Se Divorce is a divorce where you represent yourself without hiring an attorney. In an uncontested pro se divorce, both parties agree on all terms - such as property, debts and parenting - and complete the required paperwork and court process on their own. It is often a simpler, more affordable option when both parties are cooperative and willing to work together.
