Family law attorney Robert J. Salzer of Williams Family Law recently shared key insights into the growing trend of gray divorce – divorces occurring later in life – on the “Law in the Family” podcast. In Episode 49: Gray Divorce – Navigating Client Concerns for Baby Boomer Divorces, Salzer and podcast host Aaron Weems explored the unique challenges facing individuals divorcing in their 50s, 60s, and beyond.
“There’s been a notable uptick in divorces among Baby Boomers,” said Salzer. “Unlike younger couples, these individuals are often closer to retirement, which brings a distinct set of financial and emotional concerns—especially for dependent spouses who may have left the workforce to raise children. Suddenly, they find themselves in a vastly different economic situation.”
Salzer addressed a number of significant issues related to gray divorce, including financial adjustments; property and assets; pensions & benefits; and family dynamics.
A Fellow of the prestigious American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, Salzer specializes in divorce, spousal support, child support, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, and high-conflict child custody cases involving complex financial matters. He holds degrees from the University of Pittsburgh, The Catholic University School of Law (J.D.), and Boston University School of Law (LL.M. in Taxation) and is licensed to practice in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
