What Is a Gray Divorce?

Ending a marriage is never easy, and it undoubtedly only gets harder the longer the couple has been married. As we age, some relationships grow stronger, but some marriages cannot survive, resulting in gray divorce. Gray divorce refers to older couples that have been in long-lasting relationships getting divorced. It is challenging to prepare for, as most people don’t plan on starting over later in life. However, as with the end of any marriage, there are always valid reasons for proceeding with a new chapter of your life.
Divorce and Social Security
There are many complexities in divorce, but they seem to only multiply in gray divorce—stemming mainly from the division of assets. This is because the older the spouses are, the more likely they are to hold significant assets such as various properties, investments, and retirement plans, as well as the question of how to proceed with Social Security, long-term care, estate planning, and more.
Despite the obvious financial and logistical challenges in gray divorce, there is also the added emotional turmoil which comes with ending a marriage later in life.
