Today, 1 in 4 people going through a divorce are over 50. Over-50 divorces can be more financially burdensome because they usually involve alimony, retirement, health insurance, and Social Security benefits - this book covers all these issues and more.

Legal information and practical advice for older Americans going through a divorce. The legal, financial, and emotional challenges they face are different from those that apply to younger divorcees. Divorce After 50 is the only book around that addresses legal and financial concerns for this age group. Learn about different ways to divorce (mediation, collaborative law, or litigation), how to divide property, how to plan for post-divorce finances, what to do with retirement funds, and how health care and estate plans are affected by divorce.
