In a viral video, the divorce attorney, who has been practicing for 40 years, opined that the older people grow, the more they change.

“Who you were at 18 or 20 is not the same person you are going to be at 30. You don’t have financial stability, you don’t have a career, you don’t know where you are going, There are so many question marks and you haven’t developed into who you are. You are just trying to figure things out,” she said.
