Sucks to be a woman!

Feel really bad and makes you wonder why one should marry and being a woman just sucks. Trauma of childbirth and pregnancy are of no value according to her and her view of law. Double standard.

Relevant to NY top 1% earners only

If you earn less than 150,000/year, this is not helpful. Ms. Newman is out of touch with the vast majority of those going through a divorce as she caters to wealthy clients. Citing celebrity examples continuously is irrelevant to most. Where are the rules for divorce for earners of 150K, or maintenance scenarios for a disabled partner? This attorney is out of touch with those outside her bubble. Waste of time and money listening to this dribble.
