The ‘boom’ in baby boom divorce might be due to the unexpected
On Behalf of Laura Dale & Associates, P.C. | Jul 16, 2016 | Divorce
Decades of a couple being together cannot necessarily be interpreted as wedded bliss. In Texas and elsewhere, the demographics of divorce are constantly changing. What might be thought of as typical; a marriage of several years ending when the two individuals realize...

On Behalf of Laura Dale & Associates, P.C. | Jul 7, 2016 | Prenuptial Agreements
