Tiyce & Lawyers Principal Michael Tiyce was quoted in the Sydney Morning Herald recently in an article about the growing trend of women over 50 divorcing and happily staying solo.
It’s a trend that doesn’t look like going away, with the median age of divorce going up and over a third of divorces now among the 50+ age group.
“Previously there was a real stigma around singlehood that created a real pressure not only for people to pursue marriage but to stick in one regardless of how happy it is. Marriage was a true marker of success, however, now with both parties in a marriage more able to pursue career, education and life experience goals … people aren’t settling for sticking together in a partnership that isn’t working.” – Michael Tiyce
