Divorce After Age 50

When people split up after many years of , the issues and dynamics differ dramatically, both legally and psychologically, from divorces earlier in life.  Retirement, pensions, and health care are vital issues to resolve.  In general, property issues are the core concerns when both parties need to direct the community resources to assure the long term solvency and well being of both spouses.
