Divorce can be devastating at any time, but the emotional and financial challenges are even greater for those who divorce later in life, with complicated issues of blended families, health care concerns, and retirement planning. Attorney Janice Green brings over 40 years of experience as a divorce lawyer, and in particular, her skill in counseling clients over 50, to Divorce After 50. She addresses: divorce options (including mediation and collaborative divorce), how to receive the best guidance from lawyers and professional advisers, dividing marital property fairly, retirement plan rules, alimony, and, keeping good health care. This award winner book also includes divorce survival stories that illustrate your options and provide encouragement. They got through it, and with the help of Divorce After 50, you can, too
