Guidance to Help You Through Your Gray Divorce

When a married couple in their later years divorce, it is commonly called a gray divorce. While this concept once seemed unusual or uncommon, gray divorces are actually on the rise across the nation in recent years. The social stigma held over divorce by older generations is fading away as more and more people accept that ending an unhappy, unhealthy marriage is ideal, even if it has lasted decades and both spouses are retired.

As your Ocala gray divorce attorneys, our team from Dunham & Ingram will be there to help you understand what can happen in a gray divorce and what you need to do to protect your best interests.

In your gray divorce, the two main topics of discussion tend to be:

  • Alimony: If you are in your senior years, you might not need to pay any child support or worry about child custody, but alimony will still be an issue. When one spouse was financially dependent on the other, alimony is used to ensure they do not financially flounder after the divorce. We can help ensure you are given an appropriate amount of alimony, or that any alimony you pay is reasonable.
  • Property and debt division: How to divide marital property can also be tricky in a gray divorce. Florida is an equitable distribution state, which means marital property will be split according to what the court finds to be fair. Oftentimes, older couples who are divorcing have a harder time with property division because they have more shared property and greater emotional investments in certain assets.

We offer more than just legal counsel and representation, though. Going through a gray divorce can be intimidating and leave you with a sinking feeling of uncertainty. As such, we want to not just be your lawyers, we also want to be your moral supporters who let you know that everything will be okay by the time your gray divorce ends. In fact, our role as your attorneys is making certain everything is okay by planning ahead carefully and handling your divorce process accordingly.

Assigning Guardianship with Confidence

As you continue into your golden years, you will need to start thinking about guardianship, which allows someone to make important decisions for you if you become incapacitated. You need to find someone who you can trust to make those choices, who will not lapse their fiduciary duty, and who will act in your best interests, not their own.

Using our years of experience helping seniors like you throughout Ocala and Gainesville with their own guardianship cases, we would be happy to help you reach that decision. We take the time to get to know you and understand your goals, so you can be confident that your guardianship case progresses in a way that benefits you the most.
