Documentation Workshop: Turning Chaos into Credible Evidence
You know what’s happening…
Missed exchanges that get explained away
Agreements that suddenly never existed
Exploiting loopholes in parenting plans to create chaos
Abuse that flies just under the radar
Performative co-parenting that confuses providers
Holding your children’s medical or therapeutic support hostage
Bruises and dysregulation after the abuser’s parenting time
Litigation abuse framed as “best interests” concerns
Dangling expensive trips or presents to bribe your children
Unilateral decisions that set you up to be the bad guy
Things your children come home saying that don’t sit right…
Yet somehow, when it’s time to explain it to the court - they don’t get it!
Your children are suffering
Your finances are draining
The abuse is never-ending
It seems so obvious to you - how could they possibly not see it?!
You feel like you’re screaming into the void but no one hears you.
If you’re sick of watching your children suffer, and the courts are doing nothing about it - I see you. I’ve been there.
It’s not because it’s not happening - it’s because the court needs the evidence presented in a very specific way.
That’s what this Workshop is about.
I’ll show you how to make it make sense.

Turning Chaos into Credible Evidence is a live, four-week documentation workshop designed for protective parents navigating high-conflict divorce and custody, post-separation abuse, and abusive co-parenting.
In many family court cases, especially those involving coercive control and non-physical abuse, the issue is not whether harm is happening. It’s whether that harm can be clearly seen, understood, and acted on by decision-makers. Without a structured documentation system, even serious patterns can be minimized, misunderstood, or missed entirely.
The shocking truth is that the majority family court judges are not trained in coercive control and non-physical intimate partner violence. Most family court judges still rely on The Violent Incident Model to determine the presence of domestic violence in family court cases. They have no idea what coercive control or post-separation abuse is, and they have no idea how it affects your children on a day-to-day basis, or what the long-term impact is of this insidious form of abuse. And even if they see the situation clearly for what it is, they still must make written findings that align with the statutory factors that determine what is in the best interests of your children. This workshop bridges that gap.
A documentation system, created through the lens that family court judges are viewing your case can make a world of difference.
Because it’s our divine right to protect our children from abuse, it’s up to us to help the courts see it clearly.
Over four weeks, you will
Learn how to build a clear, organized, and court-aligned documentation system;
Gain clarity around what courts actually look for when determining parenting time and decision-making awards;
Understand how to demonstrate patterns over time;
Organize your records around legal standards, and
Develop a strategy mindset to know how to prepare your documentation for use in custody evaluations, court proceedings, or other protective measures.
This is not a passive course. It is a live, small-group workshop where you will actively build your documentation system step-by-step, with guidance from an expert divorce coach throughout the process, and experience the healing power of being in community with other protective parents.
You will have the opportunity to ask questions about your case and receive support from a nationally certified high-conflict divorce, custody, and co-parenting coach. In addition, you will be part of a small group of protective parents who understand the dynamics you are navigating, creating a space that is both supportive and grounded in shared experience. Being part of this small group offers the opportunity to gain wisdom from the other parents’ sharing and questions.
By the end of the workshop, you will have a documentation system that is organized, actionable, and ready to use at a moment’s notice, when you need it most. You will leave with greater clarity, increased confidence, tools for nervous system regulation, and a practical system you can maintain moving forward.
If you are navigating an abusive divorce or co-parenting situation and need your documentation to hold up in family court, this workshop provides both the strategy and support to help you do that confidently and effectively.
If this feels like the opportunity for support, strategy and community you’ve been waiting for, I can’t wait to see you there 💚

Meet Your Coach
Cat Climaco
Nationally Certified High-Conflict Divorce, Custody, & Co-Parenting Coach | Colorado Certified Mediator | Protective Parent | Domestic Abuse Survivor | Family Court Success Story
I’ve been there. I felt exhausted, terrified, confused, anxious, desperate, and trapped. I looked at my son and decided I could no longer stay in a marriage that I would never wish for him.
I would not let him grow up witnessing the abuse and confusing it with love. I would break the cycle and create a better life for my son and myself.
Despite the years of abuse, I made what still felt like the hardest decision of my life and filed for divorce. Today my life, my son, and my personal peace and safety are all better for it.
I do what I do, because I am you. I see you. I hear you. I believe you.
When I began the process of divorcing my abuser I naïvely believed that the family court system would protect us, but escaping the abuse and divorcing my son’s antagonistic father was the single most traumatic experience of my life. But it didn’t have to be.
Knowing what I know now, I wish I could go back and approach my divorce from a totally different angle. I wish I’d had someone who had been through it personally, with the knowledge, strategy and tools to help me protect my son, and my peace while navigating the experience of divorce and family court.
After 4 years of traumatic post-separation abuse and chaos inflicted upon my son’s life by his unhealthy father, the court recognized domestic abuse in our case in the form of coercive control and I was awarded sole custody and designated the Primary Parent with my son’s father only having parenting time every-other weekend. While it’s still not enough, this protection is difficult to achieve - even with the distinction of domestic violence and child endangerment.
The protection I secured for my son used to be a unicorn story - but more and more survivors are securing protection for their children and themselves. It truly comes down to a process, to knowing what the courts care about (and what they don’t) so that you can achieve peace, safety, and protection for your children and yourself. I would be honored to help you navigate your way toward peace.
I am here to walk with you in it and guide you toward a more peaceful presence.
If this is the opportunity for support, strategy and community you’ve been waiting for, I can’t wait to see you there 💚

DASH Certified Risk Assessor
Cat is a Certified DASH Risk Assessor. She was trained by Laura Richards of the Crime Analyst podcast, and world renowned and award-winning Criminal Behavioural Analyst, former New Scotland Yard.
The Domestic Abuse, Stalking and Honour Based Violence (DASH 2009-2025) Risk Identification, Assessment and Management Model was implemented across all police services in the UK from March 2009. The DASH was accredited by ACPO Council, now known as National Police Chief Council (NPCC).
The DASH is a multi-agency tool used by most agencies with a focus on keeping victims and their children safe and ensuring perpetrators are proactively identified and managed. The DASH is pioneering and innovative, turning a reactive ‘it’s just a domestic’ into a proactive ‘you must ask’ questions approach. Half the questions focus on coercive control and there is a focus on stalking and so-called honour based abuse because these are the cases where women and children are more likely to be harmed and killed by abusers.
Ready to feel empowered?
My documentation system made the world of difference in my case and is the reason my son and I have the protection that we do today - you and your children deserve safety too 🤍
