Sometimes Life Throws You A Curveball

Something happens that you never expected—sometimes life throws you a curve ball. You think that you are happily married and your sex life is great, and then you find out your spouse is having an affair—or he (or she) asks you for a divorce because he's in love with someone else.  You feel like you've been kicked in the stomach! What do you do?

The first thing you have to do is quickly learn about the divorce process and how to protect yourself.  Finding the right book is the best way.  The most informative book you can buy is "The Divorce Survival Guide for Women" @https://www.preparefordivorce.com. Remember knowledge is power.

Next you need to find an experienced divorce attorney.  You need someone who is experienced to help you to avoid mistakes that could cost you dearly later in your divorce proceedings. You need to find one that is knowledgeable and right for you. Interview at least three attorneys. "The Divorce Survival Guide for Women" will give you all the information you need to move forward and be prepared.

Dating Rich Men

"I'd rather be a rich man's darling than a poor man's slave"  goes the old vaudeville ditty.  Rich men are a breed unto themselves.  They can be selfish, arrogant and domineering toward their woman (or women).  Too many of them feel the need to conquer and control, and once they have succeeded, they are often contemptuous of their conquests.

Dating a rich man can be interesting and fun, but they expect more than a kiss on the cheek at the end of the evening.  Rich men like to have a beautiful woman on their arm—"eye candy."  Excessively wealthy men view beautiful women as objects to be bought.  There are so many examples of women being treated like chattel by rich men—and there are too many ex-trophy wives.

Beautiful, young women marry a rich and powerful man usually for one reason—money—and for several years they have everything they dreamed about. Then they start to lose their looks, get older,  get too secure in the relationship (even when children are involved) or their husband gets bored with them, and they get dumped the same way the woman before them was dumped. Of course there is a very tight prenuptial agreement in place.

How many times have you read about a rich man dumping his wife (not even his first wife) for another, younger woman—or the nanny!

Grey Divorce

Grey divorce is a growing trend.  Seniors are now realizing that here is no reason to stay in a long, bad marriage.  People live longer today, and the reality is that you might as well enjoy every minute of the time you have!  This gives more seniors reasons to get a divorce even after 30 or 50 years of marriage. There is no reason to spend the rest of your life in an unhappy marriage.

Older men seldom ask for a divorce unless they have a potential replacement. On the other hand, women who want a divorce late in life usually want the freedom from an unhappy marriage.

The divorce rate among people 50 and up doubled between 1990 and 2010, at a time when the rate for the general population was flat.  According to a study by the National Center for Family Marriage Research at Bowling Green State University of Ohio, as an age group, they accounted for about 25 percent of all 2010 divorces.

This willingness to end an unhappy marriage suggests that older couples today have more financial resources to fall back on. People usually won't take a big step like divorce unless they know that they will be okay financially. Women are also more apt to have a paycheck and 401(K)s.

How the property is divided depends on state laws and your personal negotiations. It is better to settle with your spouse, even if it's for less money than you want, than let a judge decide in court. Judge's usually give you much less than you really are entitled to.

You can also get spousal Social Security benefits if the marriage lasted at least ten years. It's not a lot of money, but every bit helps.

Life will definitely be different financially after a divorce, and women usually end up with much less.
