Subscribe to our mailing list and receive tips, articles, and information to help you get your life back on track after the divorce. Later-life divorce is on the rise. If you're a woman facing divorce in Virginia, you might find yourself a part of a growing trend of mature adults who are ending their marriages and starting a new chapter in life. Older women are choosing divorce these days in greater numbers than in past generations. Statistics show that 66% of late life divorces are initiated by women.
Shifting social mores is a main contributor to the new outlook on divorce. Women whose mothers would have stuck out unsatisfying marriages are now more likely to take a logical view and pursue their own peace and happiness, but that doesn’t mean it will be a smooth road for these new divorcees.
Divorce isn't easy for anyone. It brings with it a host of emotional, social and financial challenges that are difficult to face, no matter how old you are. However, later-life divorce brings with it some unique issues, for example, having to live alone for the first time in what may be years, and entering the dating scene again at an older age.
When you're looking at divorce in Virginia, it's important to have a good attorney on your side. The security of your future can depend on the quality of legal representation you have.
