NEW YORK — New York City’s first-ever Divorce Expo is being touted as “one-stop shopping” for lonely hearts suffering through a breakup. “Start Over Smart” will be held at the Metropolitan Pavilion this weekend.

Divorce filings are up on Long Island since the state’s no-fault divorce law took effect 17 months ago, but breaking up isn’t always as simple as had been touted. In Nassau County, the number of new cases grew 6 percent last year compared with 2009, the last full year under the old law. In Suffolk, […]
Divorce sucks for all involved. This is why some believe that staying in a miserable marriage is better than ending a miserable marriage. To that, I say: Really? Children won’t be affected by two parents who fantasize about the other contracting a swift terminal illness? Children growing up in a petri dish of contempt won’t be better […]
