40+ years
After about 40 to 50 years, the biggest factor that impacts the
divorce process in a long term marriage is the dividing of
retirement assets. Since the retirement accounts between both
parties are likely joint accounts, these accounts will have to get
divided up during the divorce process. Alimony for either spouse
is also a factor to consider, especially if one party is still in the
workforce. Both parties will have to come to an agreement on
terms that will benefit each other long after the divorce process
ends at this stage of their lives.
