FAQ

Are grey divorces common?

Fully one out of every four people experiencing divorce in the United States is 50 or older, and nearly one in 10 is 65 or older, according to a report by Susan L. Brown and I-Fen Lin, sociologists at Bowling Green State University.

Are prenuptial agreements a good idea if I remarry?

Pre-nups may be a particularly helpful tool for those remarrying after a grey divorce, as people at this stage in their lives may have more assets to protect, may already have retirement plans,  and may have adult children to consider. 

What Our Clients Say
   Kate moved the case...to a complete settlement quickly   

The other side of the divorce case wanted Kate to be the mediator. We accepted, and Kate moved the case from a complete impasse to a complete settlement quickly. The last part took the involvement of counsel as well, but that part was done quickly and efficiently, with a definitive result. I'd do it again.
