Divorce After 50 When You are the Spouse of a Business Owner, Executive or Professional

You had a secure plan for your future, but life has changed. If you are the spouse of a business owner, executive, or professional, and you are over 50, you may be asking yourself, “How am I going to live, and what is going to happen to me?”

You are considering some difficult questions: 

  • What is my realistic earnings capacity? Am I going to have to go back to work? I haven’t worked in decades. Am I going to have to work through retirement?
  • Will my property settlement allow me to maintain my current lifestyle? Am I going to need to downsize? 
  • How do I find someone to help manage my money? How do I do my taxes?
  • How am I going to pay for medical insurance? What about long-term-care insurance? Am I even going to qualify on my own? Will my spouse provide life insurance benefits in the event of his or her death?
  • How do I get part of my spouse’s pension? What if he/she passes away, will I still get his pension benefits?
  • I – or my spouse – received an inheritance. Do we have to split that money? How is that handled as part of the divorce? 
  • Do I receive Social Security benefits? If so, will the be the same as my spouse?
  • What about my kids? Can I make sure my kids inherit my assets? How do we take care of our child with special needs?
  • How do we pay for the kids’ college? Is that something I need to budget for? 
  • Who is going to pay my legal fees?
