Family Law Friday: “We Swing Together… Until the Divorce Attorney Shows Up”
You opened your marriage to “keep things exciting”—but now you’re sharing Google calendars with strangers and courtroom exhibits with your ex.

They’re not impressed with your lifestyle brand if your kids are caught in the crossfire.
💬 Thoughtful Thursday: Screenshots, Subpoenas & Sh*t You Shouldn’t Have Sent

Lesson:
Don’t text anything you wouldn’t want read out loud in court.
Because someday, it just might be.
