Abstract:
“Silver” divorce, also referred to as “gray” divorce, is another
way to characterize a divorce that occurs late in someone’s life.
Advisors should be aware that while divorce rates have plateaued
or dropped among other age groups, they are on the rise for older
Americans. In 2014 people age 50 and above were twice as likely
to go through a divorce than they were in 1990. The divorce rate
is even higher for people in the 65-and-older age group.
