In this month's newsletter, we talk about the often-difficult decision of whether to buy or rent a new home after divorce, including important things you should consider, such as your financial situation, your emotional well-being, and New York real estate trends.


We also shed light on the silent struggle of emotionally abused men in divorce, a common issue many people don't know about due to the stigma around men's emotional vulnerability. With the help of an experienced divorce coach, we explore various aspects of this issue and discuss strategies emotionally abused men can employ to navigate and survive their divorce.
