When two writers become a couple, certain things are almost guaranteed: a happy family of wordsmiths, a house lined with bookshelves, or — in the event of a split — a divorce conducted entirely on the battlefield of prose. And when that split happens, there’s a good chance both exes will gleefully turn their pens on each other.
A recent TikTok post has parents everywhere nodding and laughing in recognition. In the clip, a man who won full custody of his kids calls his ex-wife for backup. The catch is that she’s on her way to Cabo for a kids-free holiday.

When Astronomer CEO (now ex-CEO) Andy Byron starred on a kiss cam at a Coldplay concert, it sparked a scandal that immediately went viral.

These days, it feels like there's an app or AI tool for just about everything, except for filing for divorce. As much as we’d love to say "there's an app for that," when it comes to the dissolution of marriage, child custody, or any other family law issue, the only thing standing between you and closure is a human family law attorney (that’s us). It's our job to sort through the legalities, finalize everything, and offer that sweet sense of finality.
If we had a penny for every time a millionaire or billionaire got married without signing a prenup, we’d have a couple of pennies.
