Dividing Property And Debts In A Late Life Divorce
If you have built a life with your spouse for many years, property division can have many caveats. With so much on the line, it is critical to collaborate with your spouse to make the tough decisions about who will leave the marriage with what. There are key considerations in a gray divorce that cannot be overlooked, including the division of:
- Retirement assets
- Social security benefits
- Spousal support
- Health and life insurance
- The family home
- Heirlooms
- The family business
