About Us
Lawyers and legal writers overlook so many issues concerning divorce – both legal and emotional. These oversights leave many women in the dark, not knowing which way to turn. Our site is designed to shed some light on these oversights by providing easily accessible, well-written and timely information that helps women tackle the seemingly simple, but often difficult, tasks in divorce.
Our Founder, contributing writers and editors include women who have personal knowledge of and expertise in divorce and women’s health. Many of our articles are written by and rely upon information provided by lawyers, doctors and Ph.D.s who have dedicated themselves to the empowerment of women. Our tools have been designed and built by lawyers with many years of professional family law experience.
