This week we talk about the latest buzz around Dua Lipa’s possible wedding and Jessica Alba’s divorce. We get into what happens in high asset breakups, why marriage rates are shifting for college-educated women, and Bill Gates’ sudden media appearances. We also explain how divorce arbitration works, when it might be better than going to court, and what to know about buying a house or signing a postnup during a split.
