Julia Nilsen — Divorce & Separation Support in Los Angeles, CA

About Julia

Julia Nilsen is a CDC Certified Divorce Coach® and licensed attorney based in Los Angeles who works with clients at every stage of divorce — whether they're weighing the decision, deep in proceedings, or adjusting to life on the other side. Having navigated her own high-conflict, high-asset divorce from an abusive relationship while raising four children, she brings hard-won personal understanding alongside her professional expertise.

Julia acts as a central hub in her clients' support networks — helping them assemble the right team of professionals, understand the legal and financial landscape, develop co-parenting plans, and build the emotional coping skills to stay grounded through it all.

She co-hosts the non-profit Second Saturday® Divorce Workshops and founded the Butterfly Foundation, a 501(c)(3) providing transitional support — funds, goods, and services — for women facing difficult life challenges.
