Editorial policy

How content is produced

Content on Second Marriage Help is AI-assisted and human-edited. Drafts are produced with the help of AI tools, then reviewed, fact-checked, and edited by our editorial team before publication. Bylines are editorial pseudonyms of that team; we never invent professional credentials.

Bylines and pen names

Articles here are signed Nell Ashworth (Editor · remarried). That is a pen name for the editorial team, and it is named as one on our about page rather than in small print. A byline on this site means one thing: somebody is answerable for the page and can be written to about it. It is not a claim of qualifications. We do not attach degrees, licences or professional titles such as therapist, counsellor or coach to an editorial pen name, and we never attribute a quotation to a person who did not publish it. There are no interviews on this site. The portrait that runs with this byline is an illustration generated with an AI tool and labelled as one where it appears — it is not a photograph of a living person, and it carries no claim about who anyone is.

The AI disclosure runs with the byline, not behind it: drafts are produced with AI tools against an editorial brief, a person edits and is responsible for every claim that survives, and nothing is published that a person has not read end to end. Illustrations are generated and carry a visible label saying so.

Sourcing & statistics

Every statistic we publish is verified against a primary source (the original study, government data, or the company's own reporting) and named in the same sentence it appears. The full list lives on our sources page and statistics page. Numbers we cannot trace to a primary source do not get published.

Corrections
