WANT TO ESCAPE A TOUGH MARRIAGE? Christopher recently shared a reel about the No. 1 thing you should do if you want to get divorced from a difficult husband in a long-term marriage. • “The most important thing for you to do is get out a pen and paper and, on one page, write a brief narrative about what you want your life to be like when this is over.” • “You are going to have a vision for what you want your life to be like and you will have a purpose for what you’re doing, and that makes all the legal mumbo jumbo fall into place.” • “It allows you to place it all in perspective.”
In the early 20th century, Coney Island was the beating heart of America’s burgeoning amusement park industry. Three rival parks — Steeplechase Park, Luna Park, and Dreamland — engaged in cutthroat competition that dramatically reshaped this iconic destination.
A TAWDRY REPUTATION Coney Island was once known as “Sodom by the Sea,” a tawdry, vice-filled destination. But in 1897, Steeplechase Park opened, and its founder, George Tilyou, sought to bring clean fun to the masses. Tilyou’s success soon drew the attention of his rivals. In 1902, he lured away the founders of the popular “A Trip to the Moon” attraction from the upcoming Luna Park. These underhanded tactics were common — the parks constantly copied each other’s rides and acts.
RAPID INNOVATION This competitive spirit drove rapid innovation. Over just a few years, the parks introduced groundbreaking new attractions like the Rotating Barrel, Thunderbolt roller coaster, and the world’s largest Ferris wheel. They transformed the public’s perception of amusement parks, elevating them from sideshows to technologically advanced experiences. THE MODERN AMUSEMENT PARK The era of Coney Island’s dueling theme parks was short-lived. Still, the competition drove the evolution of amusement parks, laying the foundation for the iconic destination Coney Island has become.
ALIMONY AND DIVORCE — WHAT ARE YOU ENTITLED TO? Ashley broke down alimony and what you may be entitled to in her recent video post.
• “When you are dealing with a narcissist, they’re going to say you get zero. Make sure, before you start negotiating with that type of person, you know what you are entitled to.” • “Alimony is based on need and ability to pay, and it also depends on the length of the marriage.” • “In a durational alimony in a marriage between one and 10 years, the maximum amount of alimony would be 50%, which would be around five years if you are in a 10-year marriage.”
WHO TAKES THE KIDS TO ACTIVITIES AFTER DIVORCE? We recently shared this quick hit of co-parenting advice.
Is your friend or client married to a controlling, manipulative, narcissistic husband?
• “Generally, the parent who is time-sharing must take the child to extracurricular activities. However, the other parent gets to attend as well.” • “Just because it’s mom’s weekend doesn’t mean that dad doesn’t get to go to the horse show as well.”
