"Diamonds (as in wedding rings) can be temporary - legal protection is forever. My spouse and I parted as friends and remained financial partners in real estate. When he and his priorities changed, he defrauded me in the blink of an eye. Without Marilyn guiding me and battling for me I would have lost everything. Now I count on her guidance and prevent problems rather than fight to fix them later."
