The Oldest Divorced Couple A 99-year-old man divorces his 96-year-old wife after discovering hidden love letters from the 1940s, creating the oldest senior divorce in the US.
No matter the reason, senior divorce makes up a large portion of those seeking dissolution of marriage. The longer a couple has been together, the more likely that legal, credit, and financial issues are deeply meshed together. Whether an amicable divorce, or a highly contested divorce, adding an experienced attorney can help in filtering through the maze of legal issues. The older you are when you are faced with a divorce action, the more you need qualified legal counsel.
The divorce rate for people over 50 years old has actually doubled over the last 20 years. Collectively , this phenomenon, or trend, is called “Grey Divorce”. One of the more significant issues in a senior divorce action, is how to treat pensions, and social security. Of course, once government gets involved in any legal action, not just in divorce, the level of complexity seems to rise exponentially.
