Randy Perskin: Discussing Divorce

In an effort to help the elder community I am now handling cases involving guardianship.

The divorce rate among the elderly has been traditionally lower than among the younger population. Often the elderly are faced with the prospect of a divorce, breaking up an otherwise happy marriage, when one spouse requires long term care that the couple can not afford. If a couple does not have enough money or coverage to pay for necessary care but has too many assets to qualify for Medicaid, a divorce is often recommended to protect available assets for the well spouse.

The holiday season is a time of warmth and renewal. It can be a time of reflection as well as an opportunity to cherish the company of family and friends. It is a good time to consider the decisons you have made during the past year and examine your options for the future.

Although a divorce is a difficult and unpleasant experience that shares none of the warmth and good will of the holiday season, it can also give you the opportunity to reconnect with the people you love and weigh your options for the future. As a divorcee, you will be able to explore options and make decisions that are beneficial for you without worrying about the effect on your ex spouse. Take the opportunity to decide what makes you happy on a personal level and follow your dreams. Rely on the support of your family and friends who love you.

Wishing you a very happy holiday season and a wonderful new year.
