Second Saturday

“What Women Need to Know About Divorce ”

Take advantage of this unique opportunity to work directly with divorce specialists serving the Howard County area. Get answers to these questions and more! When should I contact an attorney? What’s the difference between using an attorney and mediation? How can I make this a “child centered” divorce? How can I best deal with the emotional issues of my children? Should I keep the house? Can I maintain my current living status? How will income taxes affect my ability to pay my bills?

Second Saturday deals with the legal, financial, family and personal issues of divorce in a logical, yet compassionate way. With the guidance of trained professionals, workshop participants will gain a greater understanding legal, financial and emotional issues inherent in the divorce process.
