Is 2018 a New Chapter in Your Life?
You’ve heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday but have you heard of Divorce Monday? Divorce Monday falls on the first business day of January. “New Year, New You!” With the New Year it brings a newfound courage to start over or start a new chapter in life. The start of a new year is time for rejuvenation and renewal in January. Many couples find it obligatory to ease the pain by mustering up one last Holiday with the family and the notion of leaving your partner right befor
Don’t be the Fool in a Divorce
TIPSY TUESDAY: So many people believe that they are different from so many other couples who went through messy divorces.

Speaking to the Police: DON'T!
TIPSY TUESDAY – Police will lie to people in order to get them to say things against their own interests.
