There are several factors that contribute to the decision to divorce for people over the age of 50. Once people take a long look at their partner and start to work into an everyday routine of being a spouse instead of a parent first, they often decide on a divorce as they notices the changes in their partner.– Ms. Elwell, Founder of the Divorce with Dignity NetworkCindy Elwell Pens Article on Divorce after 50 for National Association of Legal Professionals (NALS)
San Rafael, California (October 16, 2014) – When thinking about candidates for divorce, many people consider the highest risk group for divorce to be young people between the ages of 25-40 years old. Nothing is further from the truth – as a recent article in the New York Times states, “more people over the age of 50 are divorced than widowed.”
Because the divorce rate continues to climb for those over the age of 50 years old, Cindy Elwell has written an article titled “Divorce After 50” for the National Association of Legal Professionals citing the complicated reasons for divorce that are not experienced by younger divorcees. “There are several factors that contribute to the decision to divorce for people over the age of 50. For many, empty nest syndrome plays a role in divorce because parents no longer have their children between them or the bustle of activity. Once people take a long look at their partner and start to work into an everyday routine of being a spouse instead of a parent first, they often decide on a divorce as they notices the changes in their partner,” states Ms. Elwell, Founder of the Divorce with Dignity Network.
According to the 2011Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, 15.4 percent of people over the age of 50 were divorced and 2.1 percent more were separated – only 13.5 percent were widowed. With the trend toward divorce for people over the age of 50 continuing a steady climb, it might not be surprising that couples who are aging from yesterday’s 30-40 year olds are now taking their divorce acceptability with them into their 50s. Of course, retirement plays another strong role in the decision to divorce over the age of 50 years old. “So many people find after retirement that they have large amounts of time on their hands. When they try to sync their lives and interests to build a new lifestyle, often couples run into communication issues or spend too much time together. It can easily seem like a good relationship is failing when exposed to constant togetherness,” notes Elwell about divorce over the age of 50.
