Leadership

MEET OUR FOUNDERS

Meighan and Frank Harmon, a family law attorney and wealth advisor, have seen how challenging divorce can be for their clients, especially when making critical decisions under emotional stress. They have witnessed individuals struggle to take on new responsibilities, often facing complex issues like estate planning and tax preparation without prior experience.

Fueled by a desire to create positive change and set a strong example for their daughter, Meighan and Frank founded First Year Forward (FYF) in 2023. FYF is a nonprofit providing social, emotional, mental, and spiritual support to women going through divorce, distinguished by its use of structured small group circles for deep healing and transformation.
