Understanding Gray Divorce
Gray divorce refers to the dissolution of marriage among couples aged 50 and older.
While divorce rates have generally declined in recent years, the rate of gray divorce has been steadily increasing, with a significant number of older adults choosing to end their marriages later in life. This trend can be attributed to various factors, including increased life expectancy, changing social attitudes toward divorce, and shifts in societal norms.
