Divorce in maturity can lead to significant financial losses. According to new research, incomes of people in the first year after divorce drop by an average of more than £7,753.According to The Sun: A study conducted by Legal & General showed that about one in four individuals who divorced later in life face difficulties in recovering their savings after this challenging period of life.
Among those who ended their marriages, it was found that over 200,000 individuals have financial difficulties.
“This issue concerns many people who find themselves in an unusual situation in later life,” experts note.
