Inspired by the Women’s Institute for Financial Education (WIFE.org), Local Financial Experts, Attorneys and Divorce Therapists Unite in Helping Women Navigate the Challenges of “Untying the Knot
When WIFE.org co-founders and KPBS Local Heroes Candace Bahr and Ginita Wall founded “Second Saturday Divorce Workshops” through their non-profit 25 years ago, they never imagined that they would be offering support to tens of thousands of women as they struggled with the devastating process of divorce. Second Saturday Divorce Workshops have cropped up around the country, and with over 50% of marriages ending in divorce, it is clear that more help is needed.
In this same spirit, and with permission from WIFE.org, Michele has modeled the Malibu Second Saturday Divorce Workshop after the game-changing original.
The Second Saturday Divorce Workshop will debut in Malibu this September. Similar to Bahr and Wall’s original workshop, Malibu Second Saturday workshop will address the legal, financial, family and personal issues of divorce in a logical, yet compassionate way. With the guidance of trained professionals,
participants will gain a better understanding of the confusing divorce process in a way that can often save them tens of thousands of dollars and may help them avoid going to court.
Michele about Second Saturday:
“Divorce is not easy, and we are proud to affiliate with WIFE.org to provide this Second Saturday workshop. It is our hope that people attending the workshop will decide to work on their marriages and keep their families intact rather than go through the rigors of divorce. But regardless, Second Saturday provides a great opportunity for women to acquire non-biased, straightforward information and options to help them focus on what they need to do legally and financially through difficult times, and hopefully save a whole lot of time, grief and money.”
About Malibu Second Saturday Divorce Workshop: Malibu Second Saturday was established by Michele to provide individuals and couples with expert advice and alternative resources for the legal, financial, psychological and social aspects of divorce.
