GAURDIAN AD LITEM

As a Guardian ad Litem and custody evaluator, Cat works directly within the family court system to assess family dynamics, parenting concerns, and the overall well-being of children involved in custody disputes. These services are child-centered, thorough, and designed to provide the court with clear insight and recommendations. Both parents must be willing to participate in the process, as the goal is to better understand the family system and support healthier long-term outcomes for the children involved.

Cat's Personal Story

CAT DELLAIRE, LICSW, CDC

Professional Expertise Meets Real-Life Experience

Many professionals understand family systems. Others understand the court system. Few understand what it actually feels like to live through a high-conflict divorce while trying to protect your children, advocate for yourself, and maintain your emotional well-being.

​

Cat brings both professional expertise and lived experience into her work.

​

She has spent more than three decades supporting children and families through public schools, juvenile justice, adoption, mental health clinics, private practice, and now directly within the family court system as a Guardian ad Litem, custody evaluator, and co-parenting mediator.

​

Clients often describe Cat as “gently tough”—someone who creates a supportive space while also helping clients stay focused, grounded, and prepared for the realities of the process.

​

Her work focuses on:

  • High-conflict divorce

  • Custody disputes

  • Co-parenting conflict

  • Coercive control dynamics

  • Emotional regulation during litigation

  • Communication and boundary-setting

  • Child-centered decision-making

  • Recovery and rebuilding after divorce

TESTIMONIALS

Praise from my Clients

John, Age 52

“Cat has been absolutely invaluable throughout my custody fight. She understood the complexities of having children involved in a conflictual situation. I truly cannot imagine going through the process without her support. Her knowledge, empathy, and unique ability to understand both sides are what truly sets her apart. I can’t recommend her enough for custody evaluations.”

​

GAURDIAN AD LITEM CASE

Samantha, Age 36

“I truly cannot describe how impactful Catharine’s sessions have been on my life. As a single mother who had just come out of a divorce; I was in a very dark, emotional, and confusing space. She guided me every step of the way, and I can confidently say I am happy, self-assured, and optimistic, nine months later, because of her. There is no one I would recommend more, and I owe her my new life.”

DIVORCE COACHING CLIENT

Valerie, Age 38

“You have given me advice and guidance that has changed my life and that is not an exaggeration. The way you lead our sessions has resulted in a lot less conflict and has helped to spark movement on some issues that I think have been beneficial to our children."
