Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After twenty, thirty, or even forty years of marriage, countless vacations together, raising well-adjusted children, and sharing property and finances—what could go wrong? Gray Divorce offers a provocative look at the growing rate of marital splits after the age of 50, showcasing the voices of men and women who are considering, going through, or have undergone one. With empathy and insight, Jocelyn Crowley, who has written widely on family issues, uncovers the reasons for why men and women divorce—and the penalties and benefits that each pay for their choice. From the outside, many may ask why couples in mid-life and readying for retirement choose to make a drastic change in their marital status. Yet nearly 1 out of every 4 divorces is “gray.” Crowley sheds light on why divorce occurs—seeing marriage in a different lens, understanding the seismic shift in individual priorities, and the impact of the increase in life expectancy. With a deft eye, she analyzes the experiences of women and men as they go through this life transition—specifically how women are affected economically while men are affected socially. With a realistic yet passionate voice, Crowley shares the personal positive outlooks and the necessary supportive public policies that must take place to best help new divorcees. Engaging and instructive, Gray Divorce is a must-read for anyone interested in contemporary American culture.

Book excerpt: Although the hair on your head may or may not be grey (and only your hairdresser knows for sure), if you are over the age of 60 and divorcing after a long-term marriage, you are part of a phenomenon called "The Greying of Divorce." A grey divorce raises a number of challenging questions that are unique to aging and can be further compounded if one party is more than five years older or younger than the other. While there are usually no minor children to be concerned about - which makes it somewhat easier - finances are entangled after a lifetime together - which makes it harder. Add in the fact that there is also limited or no time to financially recoup what you are giving up - your working years are over - and a grey divorce can be terrifying. This book will address the unique challenges facing divorcing people over 60 years old. You will feel empowered to face your divorce- and your new life after- with confidence.
