The DDTPR program is designed primarily for parents who are divorced, have children, who are deeply committed to creating priceless relationships with their kids. However, its principles and techniques are broadly applicable and can benefit any parent, or couple seeking to improve their relationships with their children.
Yes, the DDTPR program includes and encourages interaction between participants both inside and outside of their DDTPR Cohort. Sharing experiences and learning from others who are navigating similar challenges can provide additional insights, support, encouragement during your journey.
The DDTPR programs revolutionary approach strategically combines insights from personal experience, together with divorce care best practices, along with relevant principles, tools, resources and proprietary concepts from the CNS Negotiation Framework, Harvard Law School's Mediating Disputes program, as well as, tenets and principles from an enormous range of other conflict resolution & divorce care related pillars. Together, the DDTPR program is a conscientiously curated blend of tools and methodologies that include our DDTPR Confidential Participant Questionnaire (DDTPR-CPQ), our preliminary intake process, Live Cohort Intensives (LCI), 1/1 consults, group discussions, self-guided learning exercises/materials and much, much more. This multifaceted process caters to different learning styles, and ensures you'll have the opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of the principles and techniques being shared and suggested.
You can enroll in the DDTPR program through our website or by contacting our support team. We offer different cohorts throughout the year, so it's best to check the specific enrollment deadlines for the upcoming session that fits your schedule.
The primary requirement is being a divorced father with children, (Cohorts for Women, Couples/Ex's, Kids, & Professionals who may want to adapt DDTPR into their practices to be announced in the near future). However, a commitment to actively participate and willingness to embrace change and growth is essential to benefit fully from the DDTPR program.
Also, the DDTPR program may not be suitable for everyone, and not everyone who applies, will be accepted (Subject to the discretion of DDTPR & Harrison-Chevalier, Inc. management).
Prospective participants who believe that their divorce is solely the fault of their ex, for example, regardless of the circumstances of their situation, are not likely to be a good fit for the DDTPR program.
Anyone whose attitude is extremely hardened, or who is inflexible will likely not be a good fit either.
That is not to say that participants may not feel angry, and/or have reason to be angry, prior to starting the DDTPR program, it is to say that if our anger is dominating so much space in our heart and mind that we cannot, or will not open ourselves up to the possibilities of change, and compromise, then it is not likely that a person with that mindset is going to be successful in the DDTPR program.
In a nutshell, the DDTPR program is seeking fathers who want a priceless relationship with their children, as much, or more than they want the anger, frustration, and separation that has been caused by their divorce.
When things get tough, when no light is visible during the process, it will be your strong commitment, and desire to create a priceless relationship with your kids, that will keep you going, and help you fight the urge to give up.
We certainly understand the importance of ensuring the program is the right fit for you. That's why we offer a free no obligation call, introductory zoom meetings , our FAQ page, and much more to provide insight into the program's structure and philosophy.

Further, the DDTPR program includes lots of resources, tools, strategies, and encouragement to help you provide a stable, nurturing environment for your kids after the divorce, step by step.
That said, the DDTPR is by no means all encompassing as every family, every dad, and every situation are unique. In addition to learning new skills, and moving through the 6 Steps, additional resources, and support may need to be combined with DDTPR in order to truly maximize your efforts to create priceless relationships with your kids.

While the main focus of the DDTPR program is on relationships and emotional well-being, we do touch on the financial aspects of divorce, providing resources and guidance on how to communicate and make decisions around finances to minimize stress and conflict within the family.
Financial issues can be a challenging element during and after divorce, and each DDTPR participant's situation and circumstances will be different, so there is no one size fits all on this and many other DDTPR topics.
That said, founder Derrick Chevalier endured exceptionally difficult issues around finances during both of his divorces, so he is well aware, and deeply sensitive about this issue.
DDTPR understands that money and finances can be used as powerful weapons during and after divorce, so having the tools, and the capability of mitigating those issues is of the utmost importance.

Absolutely. The DDTPR program includes guidance, and insights on navigating these special occasions. But you might find that advice, experiences and insights from those in your DDTPR Cohort are invaluable for handling these situations. Also this might be something you'll want to address in your Relentless Action, (RA) preparations, and/or a topic you might want to address during your 1/1 with Derrick Chevalier and/or with members of your DDTPR Cohort.
No easy answer here..The simple truth is that the primary focus of the DDTPR program is to walk through the six steps with the goal of creating a priceless relationship with your kids. However, we understand that the challenging and oft times tumultuous topic of whether, when, or how to navigate introducing new partners or step-parents into your children's lives is a BIG one. We also understand that solutions and situations vary greatly so that what is right and workable for one DDTPR participant, won't work for another. And while we are going to address this topic during a cohort zoom session, you might also want to devote some time from your 1/1 call to address this topic. You will also be encouraged to read, and work through some of the resources provided on introducing new partners/people into your kids lives. And if you still need or want to address the topic further, you will have the opportunity to book additional 1/1 consults with Derrick Chevalier to address both the topic, and your situation specifically. Bottom line, whatever you decide to do, the DDTPR program is going to encourage you to make the needs and wellbeing of your kids a VERY high priority.

The heart and soul of the DDTPR program comes from a combination of founder Derrick Chevalier's experience and journey through two difficult divorces, along with his over two decades of training and experience as the creator of the CNS Negotiation Framework (The only universally adaptable negotiation framework created in and for the 21st century and beyond).
Derrick spent fourteen years working with the renowned negotiation expert Dr. Chester Karrass, the creator of the Karrass Effective Negotiation Seminar, the largest and most prolific negotiation training course in the world.
After leaving Karrass Derrick spent more than two years, conducting research, reading, writing, testing, and developing the CNS framework.
And as Executive Vice President of Harrison-Chevalier, Inc., Derrick has worked worldwide with hundreds of companies, and thousands of individuals, across virtually every business sector and profession, not only training, but as a consultant providing specific proprietary strategies and solutions for everything from hostage situations, divorce, buying, selling, real estate (He is a licensed California Real Estate Broker ) promotions, mediation and much, much more.
Add to that certification from Harvard Law Schools Mediating Disputes program, his work with the Center for Conflict Resolution, and his pro-bono work with non-profit organizations such as Para Los Ninos, The Children's Institute , and other organizations, and you have someone who is uniquely qualified to combine all of that experience, training and capability together to create the DDTPR program, the only program and approach of it's kind in the world.
Everyone connected with the DDTPR program shares Derrick's commitment and desire to see you achieve a priceless relationship with your kids.
Remember, one of the fundamental aspects of the CNS Negotiation Framework, is that every human interaction involves some aspect of negotiation. Not the transactional haggling that most people think of when buying or selling a house or a car, but the substantive and complex interaction of body, mind, heart, and soul when human beings come together, or don't come together, or clash, when working out difficult issues and relationships.
Divorce is DIFFICULT, it can be devastating, especially on our kids, we get broken, our kids, get broken, and the while the journey from that brokenness to a priceless relationship, is not easy, it is possible.
The DDTPR program is designed as a unique vehicle for making that journey and conquering those relationships. If that is what you want for yourself and for your kids, join us, and let's make it happen.

While some DDTPR participants might choose to focus on learning the six steps as related to one of their children first, (And then apply the steps, or at least some of them with their other children after they are more familiar with the DDTPR 6 Step process); other DDTPR participants are going to take (or create) a hybrid approach of their own design (Hopefully with the guidance and support of the DDTPR team, as well as any other trusted advisors they are utilizing), regardless of the approach you choose, the goal is to determine, and do whatever is in the best interest of creating a priceless relationship with each of your children at the end of the day.
