What do older couples struggle with the most after divorce?

On Behalf of Law Offices of Andrew S. Guisbond | Jun 9, 2021 | Uncategorized |

In the aftermath of divorce, couples will face numerous struggles. Getting back on your feet after a split takes a lot of time, effort, energy and mental reorganization. You will likely have to make more big changes than you anticipate in all areas of your life.

As an older couple, you may face even more hurdles than your younger counterparts. But exactly what areas do grey divorcees struggle with the most after a split?

Entanglement of assets

According to Forbes, there are several unique struggles to grey divorce. Many tie to the fact that you have shared your life with your spouse for much longer than younger couples. Many grey divorcees have spent decades together.

This means all aspects of your life are likely deeply entangled with one another. Everything from your finances and assets to your emotional and mental health will likely have some anchoring point in your spouse.

Readjusting to life in the aftermath

Breaking it off is often a healthy decision for many. But you will still need to readjust to life without a source of support you have had for years. Many grey divorcees benefit from professional therapy, as it can help you mentally reorganize yourself and cope with the emotional loss a divorce represents.

You may also want legal help. This can help you get the most out of asset division and alimony payment orders. These are some of the most important aspects when it comes to getting back on your feet after a split. An equitable asset division and the extra support of alimony can help you maintain your current quality of life while you decide how to cope in the long term.
