In it, she described her tumultuous relationship with her ex-husband and the mind-boggling events that led to the ultimate demise of the marriage. Although there has been widespread opinion about her choices, others would not have felt the impact of her story without the TikTok platform.

Nobody is going to dish out hundreds of dollars to a third-party if you can file directly through the government. Although this decision...
