Later Life Divorce Financial Concerns: Health Insurance
One of the biggest financial concerns after a later life divorce is being covered by health insurance. In some Virginia divorces, your spouse may be able to keep you on his employer's health insurance plan. Some health insurance plans will offer COBRA to the ex-spouse for up to 36 months. If you have minor children, and your spouse is the noncustodial parent, he may be required to provide health insurance coverage for the children.
Later Life Divorce Financial Concerns: Shared Assets
When a couple is married for decades, many of their assets and properties merge and become community property. If you have shared assets with your spouse, a Virginia divorce court will divide it in an equitable manner. Any houses, vehicles, bank accounts, stocks, and bonds may be divided between both you and your spouse. In some cases, the court may order one spouse to pay a monetary award to the other.
You should hire an experienced Virginia Beach later life divorce attorney to help you provide evidence on your shared asset claims. By having skilled legal representation on your side, you can increase your chances of receiving a fair Virginia separation agreement that takes into account your needs at this later stage of life.
