“Divorcing later in life comes with its own distinct set of obstacles, from complex financial implications to profound emotional turmoil,” said Cukier. “But with the right guidance and strategic approach, individuals can not only survive but truly thrive in their next chapter.”

During the insightful discussion, Cukier covered some of the common hurdles faced by those going through a mid-life or late-life divorce, including:

• The deep sense of “missed expectation” that can lead to anger and acrimony.
• Intricate financial considerations around assets, alimony, and retirement.
• The impact on adult children and extended family dynamics.
• Navigating the unique legal and logistical challenges.

“Many people don’t anticipate the full scope of how divorce can upend their lives in the second half,” Cukier explained. “But with careful pre-divorce planning and a team of seasoned professionals, it is possible to protect your assets, maintain financial stability, and preserve family relationships.”

Cukier emphasized the importance of seeking guidance from experts who understand the nuances of mid-life and late-life divorce rather than trying to go it alone. “This is a one-shot deal, and you need someone in your corner who can anticipate the challenges and guide you through with sophistication and grace.”

For those facing or considering divorce later in life, Cukier’s insights offer a glimmer of hope and a roadmap for emerging from this transition with resilience and dignity. “With the right support, you can move forward into your next chapter with confidence and security,” she affirmed.
