Before getting married, many couples are now choosing to reach a pre-marital agreement. Premarital agreements also know as pre-nuptial or ante-nuptial agreements, once seemed to be reserved to Hollywood stars or Celebrities for Hollywood divorces or Celebrity divorces.

I was recently reminded of how personal an attack can be when a false allegation is made against you.

For children, the home and the daily strong presence of mom and dad is their whole reality.  That home is all they have known since birth and when it is suddenly torn apart by divorce, that can turn into the biggest trauma of that child's life. So it is a good idea for both parents to think through how they will help the kids come out of the divorce process with a little negative impact as...
