Holistic divorce is the idea that all of you - your own mind, body and spirit, your network of family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers will all be affected – one way or another - by your divorce. It's my job as a commissioner of the court to make sure that your final divorce decree meets all of the statutory and case law requirements. But it's my drive as a human being to help ensure that the things you value most survive your divorce.

The attorneys at Oberst DeFala Law, PC are mature and seasoned professionals who understand the bigger picture of where your divorce is heading. This may be your first divorce, but we have been involved in hundreds of divorces.

Together we work towards identifying what your highest priorities truly are, and how to help them survive this transition.

We accomplish this by working with you as a whole person, not just a financial affidavit. Together, we work with other professionals of your choosing, or I can recommend my associates. Certified mental health professionals, licensed financial experts and insured fiduciaries, vetted healing practitioners, and other trust-worthy attorneys or mediators, all of whom understand the specific and immediate nature of divorce and are available to engage with you as an induvial to bring your own life to its fullest next level.

The judicial system we see represented in TV dramas is available to help families divorce, but it does not always serve the greater needs of the human family going through divorce. Although the process includes inherent pain, regrets, recriminations, and the general need to take stock of what matters; it does not have to end in bankruptcy, foreclosure, hate and anguish. That is only one set of possibilities. My clients enjoy a broad range of outcomes, from greater financial stability, to heathier relationships with each other and their children

There are literally countless resources available to help maximize the positive opportunities that the transition of divorce gives you. In addition to the statutes, judicial norms, and case law, I help my clients enter into a fully realized new life. Whether an individual or – more frequently – as healthy and happy co-parents.

In short:

• The divorce is not an isolated incident.
• Holistic divorce is the idea that all of you - your own mind, body and spirit, your network of family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers will all be affected – one way or another - by your divorce.
• This may be your first divorce, but we have been involved in hundreds of divorces.
• We work with you as a whole person, not just a financial affidavit.
• My clients enjoy a broad range of outcomes, from greater financial stability, to heathier relationships with each other and their children
