LEAVE OR CONTINUE TO SUFFER? – Separation and Divorce in Later Years

An experienced lawyer and psychologist offer insights and inspiration for fresh starts.
Fourteen relatable cases clarify legal and psychological aspects.

Many people over the age of 45, 55, or even 65 find themselves saying, 'Now life is parting us after all,' when they seek the help of a lawyer. Divorce after decades of marriage is no longer taboo. Statistics reveal surprising facts: in Germany, nearly three times as many marriages are dissolved after the silver anniversary compared to the so-called "difficult" seventh year. There are also many couples who separate without getting divorced. Different visions for their shared retirement, illness, loss of feelings, or even a late-life coming out can lead to separation.

In fourteen case stories, experienced lawyer Renate Maltry and psychologist Heinz-Günter Andersch-Sattler explore the unique challenges of divorcing after a long marriage from legal and psychological perspectives. The result is an informative, realistic guide that provides clear explanations of legal aspects and encourages those affected to reshape their lives.
