Divorce rates may have stabilized for many age groups, but those above the age of 50 are experiencing a rapid increase as the number of “Gray Divorce” cases here in Carlsbad and across California continues to increase. There are many things to consider in a Gray divorce and this is why it is important to seek the advice and counsel of the experienced Certified Family Law Specialists at Burke & Domercq.
Community property, investments and retirement assets as well as a business or professional practice ownership are common elements in an Oceanside, Encinitas or Carlsbad gray divorce. The accurate valuation and division of the community interest in a closely-held business or professional practice and issues surrounding spousal support are common challenges. Those who are above 50 have spent a lifetime building their retirement portfolios, investments and other financial and physical assets. They generally have substantial equity in their family home or may even own multiple homes or rental property.
