Going through a divorce isn’t easy. It isn’t easy for anyone, no matter what specific issues brought you to where you are today.
No matter what you’re going through, you don’t want to be defined by your divorce. You, like any woman facing adversity, want to come out on the other side, better, stronger, and happier than you were before. Getting there—to that magical end point—can be difficult, though.
Even though you have friends and family members who have been there before and can likely offer you some insight, it’s rare that a person really has someone who can deal with all they’re feeling and help them understand the process. We usually recommend that our clients work through this transition with a therapist, but some people are more willing than others to actually do it—which, of course, is their prerogative anyway. Still, though, many people face a limit; there’s a point at which your friends and family members just can’t hear any more details about your divorce (after all, they’re going through things, too) and, even if they could, it can stop being productive.
That’s why we decided to create a women’s only divorce support group for current Hofheimer Family Law clients. We noticed that it was something being offered less and less often by other local groups, and it was a concern to us. We know, from having dealt with thousands and thousands of divorcing women, how difficult it can be and how much need there truly is for a group type setting to provide support and encouragement.
Our new group is called “Divorce Life Hacks and Support” and Kristen Hofheimer, our managing partner and a general all around awesome person, will be running it. I’m really excited! Our group is going to focus on dealing with the difficulties of divorce productively, including staying positive through divorce, dealing with the stress involved, building a strong support system, and helping your kids navigate through it all.
Our first support group will be held at 3pm on Saturday, January 28th, immediately following Custody Bootcamp for Moms. (Which, by the way, you should also consider attending if you’ve got a custody case or are hoping to represent yourself at the juvenile court level; just give our office a call at 757-425-5200 to register.)

We know from experience that things are often pretty tough during and after a divorce, and there’s not always extra money available for new clothes. But that doesn’t mean that you don’t have court dates, job interviews, dates, weddings, and other events to attend, and for which you really kind of need new clothes. It can be hard to manage everything and budget accordingly, and we wanted to do what we could to help. A couple of the girls in our office have recently lost a ton of weight, so we’re going to put our own clothes in for the swap, plus we’ve invited all the people on our “list,” including our awesome Girl’s Night Out group. (For more information about Girl’s Night Out, or to register to attend our next event, click here.)
We can’t do it all, but we’ve got a good start, and we definitely hope to see you there!
