As we close out May and Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to acknowledge something that often gets overlooked in divorce and family law cases: your mental and emotional well-being.

Divorce, custody disputes, co-parenting challenges, and high-conflict dynamics don’t just impact your schedule or finances — they impact your nervous system, your identity, your relationships, and your overall sense of stability.

This is why we created extra avenues for support outside of our legal guidance, because we know that divorce doesn't just affect one area of your life. To truly live our motto of making this process as painless and as peaceful as possible, we needed to bring in the support of outside experts to cover all facets of life that are touched by the ripples of change that come with a divorce.

Through our Purple Cloud Power Partners program, our clients have access to a trusted network of vetted professionals who provide support beyond the courtroom — including coaches, financial professionals, mortgage specialists, parenting experts, real estate consultants, appraisers, and more. Because true support means helping clients feel informed, grounded, and cared for in all areas of life during difficult transitions.

All of this is to say that we believe mental health matters. Emotional support matters. And no one should have to navigate these seasons alone. 💜

We have another hire that we're absolutely over the moon about, and it's our new Law Clerk Skyler! With a similar start to Attorney Ashley Zink in Sociology, Skyler completed his undergrad degree at Florida Gulf Coast University after growing up in Orlando, and was working as a academic/admission advisor when he discovered how much he enjoyed helping others. He is currently a J.D. candidate at Jolee's Alma Mater (Roger Williams University School of Law in Bristol, Rhode Island) and serving as President of the Moot Court Board, the law school’s Appellate Advocacy Honors Society! He is also the former President and current Treasurer of the LGBTQ+ Alliance, an affinity group for LGBTQ+ students and allies.

We look forward to fostering his love of law, as well as having him shadow our cases, draft pleadings, and meet with clients. If you see him, make sure to say hello!

Jolee's Divorce Detox Co-Host and Purple Cloud Power Partner Lisa Happ has an exciting new program that she just launched for all her clients with a former podcast guest, and we knew we needed to tell you about it!

Divorcing someone with narcissistic tendencies can be confusing and overwhelming, with women often feeling alone in the process and fearing they’ve exhausted their loved ones as a result of the constant chaos. While leaving a narcissistic relationship can feel as difficult as quitting an addiction, you can break free with the right support.

Enter: She Breaks Free – an accessible peer program where a licensed therapist (Kimberly Solo) matches you with another woman in your state who can relate to the trauma and chaos. From there, a supportive ongoing relationship will help you navigate leaving a toxic one. A supportive buddy system facilitated by a licensed therapist, you'll be paired with someone who is also in the process of separating, divorcing, or has divorced a narcissistic person. You'll be able to communicate and support each other as you navigate the day-to-day confusion, get suggestions and advice on how to respond to harassment, and receive encouragement and accountability for setting boundaries.

As Lisa says, there is something incredibly powerful about realizing “oh my god… it’s not just me.”
