Anticipating Divorce In Long-Term
Marriages By The Years
Divorce in long term marriages does not just happen overnight. A
divorce in long term marriages generally happens after both parties
agree to end the marriage over a number of significant factors. In
this case, the marriage ends after a number of years, usually as
long as 20 years. Sometimes, a divorce in long term marriages
occurs after as long as 50 years. Regardless of the length of the
marriage, a divorce following a long term marriage arrangement
has many challenges that are unique when compared to a divorce
of a shorter term marriage. Depending on when the divorce occurs,
these unique challenges can vary in scope.
