Gray Divorce Lawyer in Albany, NY
Serving Clients Throughout Upstate New York
“Gray divorce” refers to the dissolution of a marriage between individuals who are in the later stages of their lives, typically over the age of 50 or 60. It is a term used to describe divorces among the “baby boomer” generation and older couples. While divorce can occur at any age, gray divorces present unique legal and financial considerations due to the particular circumstances and life stages of the parties involved.
There are several factors that contribute to the rise in gray divorces. Increased life expectancy, changing societal norms, and the desire for personal fulfillment and independence are some of the reasons why more couples are choosing to end their marriages later in life. Gray divorces often involve complex issues that differ from those faced by younger couples, such as retirement planning, division of significant assets, spousal support, and healthcare concerns.
At our law firm, we recognize the unique challenges and complexities that arise in gray divorces. Andrew H. Wood, Esq. is well-versed in New York divorce laws and has extensive knowledge in handling the specific issues that arise in gray divorce cases.
