Divorce is one of the most challenging decisions you will ever make, but you don’t have to do it alone. A local workshop has been created to help women contemplate taking this step, no matter where you are in the process. It provides unbiased information to help you understand all of your options, deal with your emotions, and move forward with your life.
Discover community resources available to help you through this difficult process.
Second Saturday was founded in 1988 by the non-profit WIFE.org, Women’s Institute for Financial Education. The organization has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships and programs to help women become financially independent.
It’s not about what you already know – it’s about what you need to learn. Second Saturday offers information about the legal, financial, family and emotional issues of divorce in a logical, yet compassionate way.
With the guidance of trained professionals, workshop participants gain greater understanding of the confusing and challenging divorce process. You will hear from seasoned professionals who will answer key questions and provide critical information to guide you through your process.
