Second Saturday Workshops
Join me and financial planning expert Jeanne Case for our Second Saturday divorce support workshops.
This divorce support group is called Second Saturday of Southwest Michigan because we're a chapter of a national network named (can you guess?) Second Saturdays.
Originally, it was held only (guess?) on the second Saturday of the month. And it primarily focused on financial planning.
Jeanne and I have broadened the scope, because divorce involves much more than your finances.
I contribute from my role as a divorce consultant. Jeanne is the financial planning pro. We also have lawyers, mediators, grief counselors, local school staff, and a host of other professionals that you'll interact with during the course of divorce. Each month we cover a different topic and feature the appropriate associated professionals.
Support for your heart, clarity for your future.
Upcoming Workshops
Grief & The Holidays
Saturday November 14, 10:30am-noon
Portage, MI
Grief is weird. When it comes to divorce, you can find yourself missing your favorite coffee mug more than you miss your ex. Holidays without your kids and your usual traditions are particularly grief-filled times.
Andrea Spivey, former nurse and grief specialist, will talk you through how to acknowledge your grief and teach you potential coping methods. Heck, maybe the grief can even turn into an opportunity to do something awesome.
Bring your big heart. We've got you. And tissues.
If needed, register under an alias, have someone register on your behalf, or pay with cash at the door.
$20
Mediation or Lawyer?
Saturday December 12, 10:30am-noon
Portage, MI
Hollywood makes it seem like divorce means two lawyers duking it out in front of a judge. But that costly version of divorce isn’t usually what happens.
You have options, including the less expensive and stressful alternative: mediation.
Join local attorney Brian Morris for a rundown of when to use a lawyer and when mediation is a better choice.
Bring your big questions. We’ve got you.
If needed, register under an alias, have someone register on your behalf, or pay with cash at the door.
