For some, divorcing late in life, also known as “gray divorce”, is a result of empty nest syndrome, where their kids have left the house and they realize they're not as in love as they once were or lack common interests, while for others it could be involuntary, with one spouse finding someone else.

Read More »The assumption that couples married for two or three decades will follow through with the “til death do us part” portion of their vows is dead. These days, it’s more likely to see older couples divorcing than it was years ago. For some, divorcing late in life, also known as “gray divorce”, is a result of empty nest syndrome, where their kids have left the house and they realize they’re not as in love as they once were or lack common interests, while for others it could be involuntary, with one spouse finding someone else. “Divorce these days is more acceptable,” said Karen Covy, a Chicago divorce lawyer and author of “When Happily Ever After Ends.” “So the fact that divorce is easier to get and more socially acceptable, and there’s a bigger group of people in that age group to begin with, makes for the perfect storm for why this demographic is the biggest divorce demographic.” Divorce for people 50 and older has roughly doubled since the 1990s, according to data compiled by the Pew Research Center. Sue Gross, wife of money manager and Pacific Investment Management Co (Pimco) co-founder Bill Gross, recently filed for divorce after 31 years of marriage. Other high-profile figures who divorced decades after tying the knot include actors Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman, after 30 years of marriage; Al and Tipper Gore, after 40 years of marriage; and Morgan Freeman and Myrna Colley-Lee, after 24 years of marriage. Though increasingly popular, getting divorced at an older age can be scary for many, especially those who have identified themselves mostly as a husband or wife for so long. Finances are turned upside down as couples try to pick apart what belongs to whom, where they’ll live and how they’ll support themselves independently. Families, meanwhile, are mending from hurt feelings and emotional stress. “Divorce can rock anybody’s world, but the longer you’ve been married the longer invested you are in seeing yourself as a married person,” Covy said. “You never thought your world would change or your spouse would bail on you.” In fact, among all adults 50 and older who divorced in the past year, 34% had been in their prior marriage for at least 30 years, and 12% had been married for 40 years or longer, Pew’s research showed. “Many later-life divorcees have grown unsatisfied with their marriages over the years and are seeking opportunities to pursue their own interests and independence for the remaining years of their lives,” Pew said. Regardless of the reason, when it comes to a legal separation later in life, the soon-to-be or newly divorced should prepare themselves:

If this sounds like you, consider job-hunting. Looking for a job later in life isn’t always easy, as older people tend to fight employer biases that they’re not capable or interested in working. If you’re searching for a job, update your resume with relevant skills and stay physically fit, experts say. “You have two choices: bring more money in or spend less,” Covy said. “If you need to get a job, suck it up and do it because what you don’t want to have happen is you’re 80 years old and eating cat food.”
