Divorce for Older Adults (Grey Divorce)

Many couples find that once their children are grown and have left home, they are suddenly looking across the breakfast table at someone who feels like a stranger. Years spent focused on raising children may have caused them to lose touch with their relationship as a couple, and they may no longer wish to spend their retirement years together. In some cases, there may have been mistakes or breaches of trust that one spouse cannot move past. Whatever the reason, it is not uncommon, and divorce among these older adults is often referred to as “Grey Divorce”.
