FAQ
Q. What is firstwivesworld?
A. First Wives World is a first-of-its-kind multi-media brand and social network providing divorce support and resources, entertainment and relevant divorce news to the 30 million plus women going through the many stages of divorce, and those who want to support them. It offers the necessary tools for its community members to help educate themselves, as well as reach out and offer support to each other.
At anytime and from anywhere a woman at the beginning of the difficult process of divorce is able to get suggestions, advice and comfort from women who have already navigated those rough waters. And a woman in search of a personal, financial or legal expert can get a recommendation from a trusted resource; another divorced woman. It’s a network of women connecting to women to share information and support. Learn more about us or view the making of our image campaign to see how we're hoping to change the face of divorce.
