What is grey divorce? Navigating later life separation

Join divorce coach Sarah Woodward, hosted by Stowe's Ashley Le-Core, for an in-depth session on later life divorce and its unique challenges

Grey divorce is becoming increasingly common, with more people separating later in life than ever before.

For many, this stage can bring a very different set of challenges - not just legally and financially, but emotionally too.

After many years, or even decades together, it’s not just a relationship that changes. It can involve rethinking your future, your identity, and what the next chapter of your life might look like.

In this webinar, Stowe Family Law Partner Ashley Le-Core will be joined by divorce coach Sarah Woodward to explore the realities of separating later in life, and how to navigate this period in a more supported and considered way.

In this session, Sarah will cover:

• What grey divorce is and why more people are separating later in life

• The emotional impact of divorce after a long-term relationship

• The key practical and financial considerations that often arise

• How to approach this period so you can move forward with more clarity

• How divorce coaching can support you alongside the legal process

Sarah will also answer questions at the end of the session, and Ashley will respond to any questions relating to the legal process.
