The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint™
The foundation of everything I teach - now available to all protective parents.
Whether you work with me one-on-one, or navigate your journey independently, this is where everyone starts.
The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint contains the complete framework I use in my $325/hour coaching sessions - the 3 Steps to Protective Parenting™ methodology, evidence-based child development and safety frameworks, capacity-building tools including preparing to meet with report writers and capacity for final trial, how to use the evidence in a way that is credible and strategic and more - organised by stage and situation.
Finally, a post-separation parenting resource that gets it right - child development and wellbeing put first - with the evidence to back it up.
“Is the Blueprint right for me?”
Yes, if you want to…
Stop second-guessing yourself.
Make decisions based on what your children actually need, backed by research
Become the advocate your children deserve.
Navigate mediation and family court with clarity, capacity, and evidence-based confidence
Access expert frameworks without being locked in to ongoing coaching costs.
Get the same strategic frameworks that my team and I use in private 1:1 coaching - available whenever you need them
The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint is designed to meet you wherever you are:
-
You're scared to make the wrong decisions about your children's future. You're thinking about what might be "fair" after separation, or what the other parent might demand, but you're confused about what's actually best for your kids.
The Blueprint gives you:
Clear understanding of what children need at each developmental stage
Evidence to counter pressure for arrangements that aren't right for your kids
Strategic planning tools before you separate (the best time to start)
-
You've been told that "50/50" is what's 'best' and 'fair'. You might be confused about whether the other parent has particular legal "rights" to a certain amount of parenting time. You're experiencing pressure to agree to arrangements you know aren't right - but you're not sure how to advocate credibly.
The Blueprint gives you:
The research debunking the 50/50 myth
Age-appropriate parenting arrangement frameworks
Communication scripts and strategies
How to advocate without being dismissed
-
You've been made to feel "difficult" or "controlling" when you advocate for what your children need. You want reassurance you're on the right track and evidence-based arguments that can't be easily swept aside.
The Blueprint gives you:
Comprehensive documentation strategies
How to challenge inappropriate recommendations
Professional navigation skills
Legal realities and when to engage the court system
-
You need to prepare for family reports, challenge recommendations, or face trial. You want to understand the system, advocate effectively, and build the capacity to sustain this fight.
The Blueprint gives you:
Module 20: Preparing for final trial (including "Capacity for Final Trial" PDF)
How to prepare for family report assessments
Understanding why professionals miss coercive control
Strategic decision-making frameworks
Nervous system regulation tools for high-stress situations
Here's the truth the others won't tell you:
Most post-separation parenting advice from other professionals ignores child development research and evidence entirely.
Shocked? Angry? You should be!
The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint™ gives you the information other professionals don't - because it's the same framework we use when protective parents pay $250-$325/hour for our coaching.
Now you can access it all, anytime you need it, for a fraction of the cost of ongoing coaching sessions.
The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint™ gives you the information that other professionals don’t.

What makes this content truly one-of-a-kind:
The Transformation: From Confused to Confident
Before The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint:
If you're contemplating separation:
Paralysed by fear of making the wrong decision for your children
Wondering if “50-50” really is the default parenting arrangement after separation
Worried that you don’t have the knowledge or the capacity to advocate for your children
Thinking that maybe it’s just best to stay in the relationship until your children are older
If you've already separated:
Feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice from professionals or others
Dealing with parenting time demands from the other parent
Believing that you and the other parent must come to agreement on post-separation parenting arrangements
Doubting your parental instincts
Fearing lawyer involvement, the court system and unknown outcomes
Doing what you can to avoid conflict with your former partner
Wanting “evidence” about post-separation parenting arrangements to reassure yourself, and to show the other parent
Wanting to ‘hit the ground running’ before connecting with a lawyer, so that you can give instructions confidently and step fully into ‘protective parent mode’
For some, post-separation concerns may include navigating the court system, and;
Wanting to know how you can help advocate for yourself with your legal team,
Needing support with creating a an overall strategy to optimise your overall outcome
Seeking guidance on challenging inappropriate recommendations in a family report with evidence
Gaining information about what kinds of questions you should ask your barrister, and how to prepare for a final trial
After The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint:
You'll master the knowledge, build the capacity, AND develop the advocacy skills:
Crystal clear confidence about what your individual children actually need at every age and stage
Evidence-based arguments and talking points that professionals can't easily dismiss
Emotion regulation to stay strategic even under intense pressure
Boundary skills that protect your energy for what truly matters, so that you can stay the course
Professional navigation skills that command respect rather than dismissal
Family law insights that empower rather than intimidate
The tools to set up arrangements properly from the beginning or challenge inappropriate ones
The internal strength to persist in advocacy even when facing resistance
Why trust the Blueprint?
Because it was created by someone who consistently helps real parents, get real results

Emma K
"I was terrified about whether to leave my marriage because of what it might do to my children. Danielle’s evidence-based guidance gave me the framework to understand what would actually be best for them - and the confidence to make the right decision".
-
Sarah M
"I was being pressured to agree to 50/50 time for my 2-year-old. After connecting with Danielle, I had the confidence and knowledge to advocate for what my daughter actually needed. We ended up with arrangements that supported her age and development needs, and she's thriving - thank you Danielle!"
-
Michelle T
"Danielle’s in-depth understanding of family violence and post-separation abuse gave me language for experiences I couldn't even name. I finally understood why my children were struggling - and had the knowledge, support and strategy to protect them."
-
Gavin S
"Father's rights websites were telling me that I had a right to '50/50' parenting arrangements, but it just didn't sit right. Deep down, I knew that my kids needed to be with their mum most of the time but it was hard to shake off what I was being told about my "rights" as a dad. Danielle is the first professional I've come across who focuses on the rights and needs of the kids. Danielle helped me to understand what was best for my kids at their current ages, and it's sure not 50/50!"
-
Grace L
"Danielle helped me to change the 50/50 arrangements that were in place for my 2.5 year old son. I had been bullied into them, and she helped me to take back my control and start advocating for myself and my child. I have no words to express the difference she has made to our lives. Danielle helped me to understand what will work best for my son as he gets older, and I'm now sleeping better than I have in years because I'm no longer confused and worried".
-
Julia A
"My ex's legal tactic has been to accuse me of 'gatekeeping' and 'alienation'. With Danielle’s help I’ve been able to tackle those things in a way that has given me so much information and confidence, and in a way that my lawyer hasn't been able to (despite the fact that I’ve already paid them over $20K!). I now know how to strategically push back on those baseless accusations and I'm so grateful that Danielle understands and covers things that other professionals don't.”
-
Kellie B
"I'm a 1:1 coaching client of Danielle and Trudie and I couldn't wait to get my hands on this Blueprint! I can't believe how much value she's packed in - it's the stuff that protective parents actually need to know right from the start, and it covers transitions to different age groups as kids get older, or when you have different aged kids. The advice for neurodivergent kids is amazing as well - I know I'll be referring to this for years to come as two of my children are Autistic. This is the equivalent of MONTHS worth of 1:1 coaching, it's like having Danielle in my pocket. I love it! Amazing work Danielle!"
-
Rebecca L
"…I went from feeling like I was being 'difficult' to understanding I was being a protective parent. Danielle validated my instincts and gave me the research to back them up."

Capacity building

Substance abuse and mental health concerns
Supervised contact situations
'No contact' cases

'No contact' cases
Supervised-time only cases
Cases involving serious physical violence, sexual abuse, and simultaneous criminal proceedings
High-profile clients (television, music and film personalities)
If your situation is complex, you need this even more.
-
Yes - because lawyers and therapists can't give you what the Blueprint provides.
What lawyers CAN'T give you:
Evidence-based child development frameworks
Detailed age-appropriate arrangement guidance
Communication templates and scripts
Capacity-building tools for emotion and nervous system regulation
Strategic documentation approaches
Understanding of why professionals miss coercive control
What therapists CAN'T give you:
Legal navigation skills
Strategic family court preparation
How to advocate credibly with professionals

Evidence-based arguments for age-appropriate plans
What the Blueprint DOES give you:
Actionable tools lawyers assume you already have
Evidence-based frameworks to guide your decisions
Capacity-building tools to sustain you through the process
Strategic preparation that makes your legal representation more effective
The Blueprint complements professional support - it doesn't replace it.
Start building your strategy today
Not taking proactive action can feel very comfortable, but I’ve been doing this work long enough to know that the brain that got you where you are right now, is not the brain that is going to get you out - at least, not without high-level expert help - the kind of high-level help that only comes from someone who has successfully done it themselves.
That’s what separates the Blueprint, and the coaches at Danielle Black Coaching, apart from everything and everyone else in the post-separation space - we’ve been where you are now, and we know what it takes to get out safely.
Think of us as your tour guides,
and the Blueprint as your map.
We know the best, safest places to stop and rest along the way…and the seedy areas (and people!) that you should avoid…
