Divorce 101: M Is for Marital Assets (and March)
March has a way of waking us up—windows open, closets emptied, life quietly asking: what are we carrying forward? That’s why this month, in our Divorce 101 A to Z series, M is for Marital Assets. Marital assets are the things built during the marriage—sometimes obvious (the house, savings, retirement), sometimes surprising (stock options, points, miles)—and understanding them matters because you can’t protect or divide what you don’t even realize exists. This isn’t about being combative; it’s about getting clear, gathering what’s real, and making intentional choices as you step into what’s next.

Letter from the Editor: February Is a Good Month to Come Back to Yourself
February can feel like a month that’s constantly clearing its throat.
It’s short. It’s loud. It’s full of hearts and pink and messaging that assumes you have a “we” to celebrate.
