Understanding Gray Divorce
In the 21st century, there is an increasing trend of older couples, often with long-lasting marriages, deciding to part ways. Spouses who are over the age of 50 will often face unique challenges that differ significantly from those encountered by younger divorcing couples. They may need to address concerns related to financial security, retirement planning, and long-term health care considerations, among other factors that may affect them when ending a marriage that has lasted many years or multiple decades.
