Divorce has become more and more common these days. And being a female – Even though the law is on your side for child custody (at least here in Michigan), us women are not always prepared financially. A divorce can be stressful and tragic on both sides – especially if you are not prepared. Hollis Colquhoun has written articles and a book to help women survive before, during and after a divorce. She wrote Women Empowering Themselves: A Financial Survival Guide.
