Love Your Divorce

Oberst DeFala Law

There's a Better Way to Divorce

“Divorce is a transition, not an obituary.” This conviction has guided Attorney Sharon Oberst DeFala’s practice since 1992. She demonstrates that, while a divorce decree marks the end of a marriage, it should also serve as an opportunity for growth.


Attorney DeFala has spent more than 30 years helping individuals and families navigate difficult life-cycle events. In addition to affecting family dynamics and financial circumstances, these events can affect physical, emotional, and spiritual health.


Attorney DeFala utilizes a holistic approach, drawing upon her experience and training as a lawyer, mediator, Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS™), and Reiki Master. Her unique skill set enables her to integrate traditional legal skills with vetted healing practices. This approach honors the whole person and helps her clients build the foundation for a healthy, empowering new beginning.


She is a lifelong resident of Fairfield County, Connecticut, where she lives with her husband and their two children.

What if divorce was one of the best things to ever happen to you?


In Love Your Divorce: Your Guide to a Holistic Happier Ever After, family law attorney and mediator Sharon Oberst DeFala draws on decades of experience to offer a different way forward, one rooted in compassion, clarity, and the belief that how you go through divorce matters just as much as the outcome.


Loving your divorce doesn’t mean loving the pain that brought you there. It means recognizing the opportunity to let go of what no longer works, protect what matters most, and intentionally create your next chapter. Love Your Divorce is a hopeful, practical guide to navigating one of life’s biggest transitions and discovering that your happily ever after may still be ahead of you.
