Our Blog
When couples consider divorce, one of the main problems is how their assets will be divided. This depends heavily on state laws. In some states, nearly all property obtained during the marriage is considered communal and thus divisible upon divorce. Other states opt for an "equitable distribution" approach, where assets are divided fairly, but not necessarily equally, based on different factors.
Finding out that your spouse is having an affair is heartbreaking. It's even worse when you realize they've been using your family’s income or savings on their affair partner. If you’re dealing with this, here are some steps you can take.
Are you getting ready to say "I do" again?vWhile you're caught up in the thrill of it all, don't forget to sort out the essentials. This is good advice for anyone tying the knot, but if you're remarrying, there are a few extra things you should think about.
