In recent years, the U.S. has experienced a trend toward the increase of "late life" or "grey divorce", both terms referring to divorces involving those in their fifties or older. Many of the typical issues faced by separating and divorcing couples take on a unique, or even more urgent, character when faced by those in "grey divorces", including:
Mediation and Collaborative Practice are particularly suited to the resolution of the unique issues facing those in "grey divorces" without the devastating financial and emotional toll of litigation. Mediation and Collaborative Practice allow parties to create an amicable resolution designed especially to meet their individual needs and goals.
Fully one out of every four people experiencing divorce in the United States is 50 or older, and nearly one in 10 is 65 or older, according to a report by Susan L. Brown and I-Fen Lin, sociologists at Bowling Green State University.
Pre-nups may be a particularly helpful tool for those remarrying after a grey divorce, as people at this stage in their lives may have more assets to protect, may already have retirement plans, and may have adult children to consider.
I hired Ms. Reese to represent me for my divorce a couple of years ago. I had interviewed other attorneys, and I was looking for someone I could feel comfortable with. Someone who would represent my interests, not feeling I had be taken advantage of and most of all knowledgeable and professional. Ms. Reese and her team are all of that and more. She had a very quick and thorough understanding of my situation. Very responsive, punctual and fair. I had a first meeting with her and went back 6 months later; she was on top of everything and I didn't have the impression of wasted time. I strongly recommend Ms. Reese.
