A divorce can happen to any person of any age or background. However, researchers have recently seen a surge in the number of people getting divorced who are older than 50. A quarter of the people who divorced in 2010 were 50 years old or older, which is an increase of 15% from just 20 years earlier. The reasons for this are varied, but Texas families may be interested in the particular challenges that a divorce for people in this demographic may produce. A recent study found that there are certain financial difficulties that a person who experiences a gray divorce may encounter.
