Start a Second Saturday
What is Second Saturday?
Founded in 1989 by the nation's leading advocates and thought leaders on behalf of female financial literacy, Candace Bahr and Ginita Wall, Second Saturday Divorce Workshops offer legal, emotional, and financial information in a compassionate and unbiased way to people in any stage of untying the knot.
Dedicated to empowering women and men contemplating, in the process of, or complete with their divorce, Second Saturday Divorce Workshops are run by community leaders who volunteer their time, resources, and considerable knowledge to educate attendees and calm their fears.

WIFE.org has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Business Week, O Magazine, USA Today, MSNBC, KPBS, Financial Planning, Investment News, Yahoo!
