A graduate of the Fordham University School of Law, Carla Risoldi has been in private practice through Risoldi Law Offices, LLC, in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, since 1994. In 2020, Carla Risoldi contributed an article to the online publication Divorce Magazine. Prior to that she was a Bucks County Assistant District Attorney.
Divorce Mag published this article, “Divorce, Zen Style: Managing Emotions in a Divorce,” on March 12, 2020. The "Divorce Mag" website specifically marked the article for individuals interested in the categories of “Children and Divorce,” “Child Custody,” and “Coping with Divorce.”
“Divorce, Zen Style” strives to help people navigate the “treacherous waters of a contested divorce” by drawing upon some basic concepts from the teachings of Buddhism. Specifically, the article views the stress of divorce and child custody issues through the lens of the ancient “four essential practices of Bodhidharma.”
First, people dealing with divorce must strive to endure hardships with patience. Second, they must learn to except and adapt to the new conditions in which they find themselves. Third, they must keep their rampant wants and needs in check. And finally, they should “practice Dharma” by understanding the transitory nature of their current circumstances and the ways in which all people, including ex-spouses, are essentially united.
