As you’re already aware (or you wouldn’t be here, reading this blog!), when you receive spousal support over a period of time, whether you receive it for a fixed time or permanently, your...
Maybe I’m just tuned in to these sorts of things, but it seems like everywhere I go, I see bright yellow signs that say things like “DIVORCE $199”, or “DO IT YOURSELF DIVORCE”.
