Living the dream with author and former divorce lawyer and mediator Judith Kaluzny
Judith 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. Intelligent, educated people thought everything they owned before marriage became community property upon marriage. Why a Marriage License Handbook? Ignorance is bliss, some say. 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. So upon reading Michael Pollan’s experience with a hunting license, then thinking about a driver’s license, Judith thought a handbook of the rules for marriage, like the DMV handbook of rules of the road, would be a good idea. That, and a test for one’s knowledge and understanding of the rules.
