Why this exists: for advocacy and education about how prolonged post-separation legal processes can create sustained financial strain.

What is shown: monthly totals, cumulative totals, and broad categories (e.g., legal counsel, mediation).

What is not shown: invoices, line items, work descriptions, strategy, case events, or details about any other person.

Updates: manual only, when new invoices/payments are recorded.
