As the marriage rate falls and the 'millennials' choose to cohabit, the over 60s are topping the divorce charts. Working with separating couples who are in later life requires a special level of expertise. In addition to the provision of sound legal advice, practitioners will need to have an understanding of the emotional and other wider issues faced by clients from this generation and the impact which these will have on the process. There is a need to explore into the family dynamic and recognise the influences which may have a profound effect upon your handling of the case on behalf of your client.
'A Practical Guide to Divorce for the Silver Separators' will take you through some of the most important considerations when acting for a client over the age of 60 and provide guidance to support you through the potential pitfalls. The aim is to assist you in the provision of the best possible service for the growing number of separating couples in this age group, likely to form a significant proportion of your caseload.
The book is full of practical tips with an illustrative case study. It deals with the needs to understand the implications for the wider family, especially adult children who, although too old to be taken into account by the court, can become over involved in the separation of their parents.
'A Practical Guide to Divorce for the Silver Separators' can be used as a quick reference book or an absorbing 'cover to cover' read, aimed at equipping the reader to tailor their service to the very specific requirements of the age group.
