Living the dream with author and former divorce lawyer and mediator Judith Kaluzny

Send us Fan MailJudith Kaluzny has Over 43 years as a lawyer and mediator for divorces–now “dissolution of marriage” in California--, she found many clients had not understood the financial consequences of marriage. And very few people realized they could write financial agreements during marriage, post-nups, that is.

The full true saying is, “where ignorance is bliss, ‘tis folly to be wise.” In making a life commitment as in a marriage, ignorance ‘tis folly.
