Founded by Kara Ockendon, Thriving Divorce and Separation is a boutique Collaborative Family Law Pathway provider for those navigating separation, divorce and/or the family law system in Australia.

Kara is a former Australian Family Lawyer, now Collaborative Separation Facilitator & Coach with tertiary education in behavioural science and trauma, alongside certification in Collaborative Practice and Conscious Uncoupling.

We believe separation does not have to destroy families.

With the right support, families can navigate separation with greater clarity, compassion and stability — creating healthier foundations for co-parenting, communication and future family dynamics.

By integrating collaborative practice, trauma-informed principles and practical guidance, our mission is to support families not only to move through separation… but to thrive beyond it.
