Divorce Over 50

The divorce rate for couples over age 50 has more than doubled in recent years. This can be attributed to several factors, not the least of which is the desire to live an emotionally happy and satisfying life. With children grown and the number of years ahead of major concern, many older couples are choosing to go their separate ways. Called "gray divorce", these cases have issues that are very different from younger couples. With more years together, there are often more complex assets including businesses and real estate, to divide.

Nearing Retirement

Divorce can be unsettling, and this is especially true for couples close to or in retirement, particularly as it relates to financial support.

Health Concerns

Older divorcing spouses may face face health issues that require personal assistance or limit their ability to support themselves.

Financial Issues

Older couples going through divorce may face unique financial concerns around asset division, retirement, and spousal support.

Asset Division

Dividing extensive and valuable marital assets that have accumulated over many years of marriage often requires an experienced attorney.

Spousal Support

The issue of spousal maintenance can be complex when the primary earner spouse may not be working for very long into the future.

Goostree Law Group

A "gray divorce" may involve assets, including businesses and real estate. One or both spouses may be close to retirement, impacting spousal maintenance and other financial concerns. There may also be health issues to take into consideration. At Goostree Law Group, we can help you address divorce-related issues as you near your retirement years.

Family Law
Beyond Divorce

If you are not yet ready to legally terminate your marriage, you may opt for a legal separation while remaining legally married to your spouse. If you are an unmarried parent, you may need to establish paternity for your child. Family law also includes the preparation of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, which have become more and more commonplace in the world of marrying later, wealth accumulation, and multiple marriages.

The attorneys at Goostree Law Group have over 80 years of combined experience in the practice of family law. We represent parents seeking to establish paternity in order to receive support or to enjoy time with their child. We assist same-sex couples seeking to divorce and establish the division of assets from years of accumulation prior to legal marriage. And, we seek to protect our clients and their families from domestic violence through orders of protection. If you have a family law matter that needs legal guidance, contact Goostree Law Group today.
