VoiceAmerica: “Asset Division in Silver Divorce: What You Need to Know,” hosted by Brooke Benson
About this episode: Getting divorced while you are still in your earning years is one thing … ending your marriage in retirement can add financial woes and focus attention on the division of marital assets. How will you know you have enough money to last the rest of your life following a divorce? Silver Divorce is a proven phenomenon; older Americans make up the majority of divorcing couples in 2023.
