The Impact of a Gray Divorce on Adult Children

Some months back, my colleague Andrea Vacca, a collaborative divorce professional, wrote about the financial implications of gray divorce (divorcing over age 50). She referenced an article in Forbes that discussed the many areas of life that are affected by gray divorce, including the impact on adult children. Regardless of age, divorce often draws adult children away from their progress into finding their own identities, careers, and love, and back into the family dynamic.

Young Adults With Divorcing Parents by Lauren Behrman
