A Growing Trend – Late Life Divorces?

Posted in Divorce Law, Family Law at 5:17 am by Administrator

There seem to be more articles written about late-life divorces in the press these days. This is definitely a trend that bears watching. Late-life divorces (also known as “grey-hair” divorces) can elevate the importance of certain issues that may not be as important in a divorce between younger couples.

For one thing, there is often more at stake financially for both parties. This is the case because the parties to a late-life divorce often do not have their best earning years behind them. Thus, the division of assets and liabilities in a late-life divorce is extremely important in these cases.

Interestingly, women initiate the majority of late-life divorces (as noted in this article on late-life divorces by the AARP) – dispelling the myth that late-life divorces are primarily initiated by men who leave their spouses for younger women.
