Divorce Story

In many families, it’s common for one person in a relationship to take a step back in their career to help with the mental load and logistics of running the home and children. But, when a relationship ends, the person who has been the primary carer will often find themselves needing to increase their earning capacity and in some cases, they might have been out of the workforce for years.
