Divorcing later in life is not a new phenomenon, but it is becoming more and more common. Indeed, the increased occurrence of “grey divorce,” as it’s called, has been identified as a significant 21st century divorce trend. Even though the overall divorce rate is actually declining, it’s on the rise among older generations.

Those of us in the business of helping people plan for a secure financial future have long known that grey divorce presents a unique set of challenges to our clients. A reverse mortgage might represent a new strategy for making the recipient of a divorce settlement last as long as possible.


Reverse mortgages were created specifically for senior homeowners, 62 years and older, who want to convert part of their home’s equity into loan proceeds. With not only the rising financial requirements of senior homeowners but when there is limited or fixed income in a divorce situation, reverse mortgages are becoming a popular option and tool to supplement income.
