Description
People age 40 or older generally feel that divorce is more emotionally devastating than losing a job, about equal to experiencing a major illness, and nearly as devastating as a spouse's death, according to a recent AARP study. And the divorce rate among this very age group is triple that of its parents' generation.
Divorce After 50 is written for this specific-and growing-group of divorcees. It addresses late-life divorce from the perspective of an attorney with extensive experience dealing with older adults, combining practical advice with legal information about the issues unique to that demographic. It covers:
how to get guidance from friends, family and, as needed, lawyers ways to divorce (collaborative, mediation, contested, etc.) marital property: what it is, what you do with it, and how to divide assets and liabilities how to survive financially during and after divorce how health care and estate planning are impacted by divorce and much more.Plus, readers will find plenty of "grab your bootstraps" survival stories that illustrate options and provide encouragement.
