In 2024, Grey Divorces--those involving clients over 50, were 40% of the divorces. In 1990, they were only 8%. As the numbers of this type of divorce grow, are you aware of the special issues raised by these divorces and how to address them? Do you know why traditional divorce assumptions often fail in older-age cases?

• Grey Divorce and the Empty-Nester Phenomenon

• Inheritances Received Later in Marriage

• Property Division and the Alimony Reform Act (ARA)

• Retirement Assets in Payout Status

• Social Security in Grey Divorce

• Medicare and Medicaid in Grey Divorce

• Emotional, Ethical, and Capacity Concerns

• The Role of ADR in Grey Divorce
