About Us
Preserving the Family Through Divorce
“When we are in a position to alleviate some suffering, I believe we should.”
A Mission Born from Experience
From 2008 to 2010, our founder, Kelley Linn, her spouse, and their two young children endured a 26-month litigated divorce in Atlanta. The emotional, financial, and relational toll was devastating. Their marital home had to be sold to pay $242,000 in legal fees, leaving the family without a home.
Enough was enough! There had to be a better way for families facing divorce—a way to protect children, preserve financial resources, reduce conflict, and help parents move forward without being devastated by the process itself. That conviction became our mission.
A Different Approach to Divorce
Founded in 2010, Transitions Resource, LLC, is a private, not-for-profit family divorce consumer advocacy initiative. In 2015, Kelley launched Divorce Mediation Center, LLC, bringing that mission to life through a new, family-focused approach to divorce. She developed Transitions Divorce®, our proprietary service model that moved beyond simply educating families about their options to providing hands-on guidance and services to help them navigate divorce, reduce financial and emotional harm, and move forward with greater stability.
An Industry Disruptor in Family Divorce
We challenge traditional approaches to divorce by putting families—not prolonged conflict—at the center of the process. More than a business, our work is a philanthropic endeavor dedicated to protecting families' financial resources, supporting their well-being, and improving their quality of life long after divorce.
Experience. Education. Advocacy.
Kelley Linn is a Georgia Certified Mediator and the founder of both organizations. She developed an NASW and LPCA Georgia accredited 38-hour continuing education curriculum in family divorce for the therapy profession, taught from 2011 through 2018 , and authored five divorce-related books and workbooks. She has presented at professional conferences for counselors, social workers, and marriage and family therapists.
In 2018, former Georgia Senator Gregory Kirk began working with our organization to help advance the statewide expansion of our family-focused model. Today, Divorce Mediation Center operates a network of 17 Family Divorce Mediation Centers serving communities throughout Georgia. In 2024, Kelley was named an Honored Listee of Marquis Who's Who in Business in recognition of her innovative work.
Why We Do What We Do
We believe the end of a marriage should not mean the destruction of a family's financial security, parental relationships, or future.
Our purpose is to help families divorce differently—with less financial and emotional harm, greater stability, and a better opportunity to heal and move forward.
Because preserving the family through divorce is not just our slogan. It is why we exist.
"When we are in a position to alleviate some suffering, I believe we should." Our founder her spouse and their two young children suffered through a litigated divorce court process in Atlanta from 2008 through 2010; suffered emotionally, suffered financially, suffered parentally, suffered relationally, suffered socially. The family, relationally and financially was completely broken at the end of the 26 month legal divorce court process (and homeless as the marital home was required to be sold to pay the outrageous $242,000 in litigation court legal fees). ENOUGH we said! Change MUST happen to protect brokenhearted spouses who want to protect their finances and children and just want to move forward with their lives! We must help others in preserving the family through divorce!
