Postnuptial contracts: They simply make sense for many women

Prenuptial agreements in Georgia and other states are far more common these days than they used to be, for a host of reasons.

Is it really possible to get along with an ex-spouse?

Focus: a bit of advice relevant in 50-plus divorces

Various studies, coupled with anecdotal evidence, suggest that many relationships first become notably vulnerable to pressures and collapse after a handful-plus of years.
