Frequently Asked Questions
We know family law can feel overwhelming—and sometimes, just getting clear answers makes all the difference. Below you’ll find thoughtful responses to the questions we hear most often, designed to help you feel informed, prepared, and empowered as you move forward.
What is considered a gray divorce?
"Gray divorce" refers to couples who divorce later in life, typically after age 50, often following a marriage of 20, 30, or even 40 years. It's become far more common over the past two decades, and it brings a different set of considerations than divorce earlier in life.
- Retirement accounts, pensions, and Social Security benefits often make up a larger share of the marital estate.
- Less runway to rebuild savings or earning potential before retirement.
- Health insurance coverage after divorce becomes a real planning issue, especially if one spouse was covered under the other's employer plan.
- Children are often grown, which shifts the focus away from custody and toward financial security.
Gray divorce isn't harder to navigate legally, but the stakes around long-term financial stability are different, and that changes the strategy.
