Welcome to a special standalone edition of Into the A+ Advice Box where we take a question that we think might benefit many people to read. Here, we have a question from a member going through the early stages of divorce, and we thought that yes, we should answer this as a standalone, especially because so little queer divorce content exists! Thank you for your support as A+ members. As always, the A+ box publishes on the first and third Friday of each month, with the first A+ advice box for questions on any topic and the second advice box for questions on a theme. November’s theme is fears and anxieties. Get your questions in by Monday November 8!

Q:

I’m in the early stages of divorce mediation, deep in the financial weeds. Do you have any advice or thoughts on the ways class/culture differences affect divorce? My future-ex-wife has her family and their support. I’m kinda SOL.

Things are moving fast on this train, so I’m hoping there might be some tidbits to help me on this roller coaster ride. Thanks.
