MANCHESTER, NH, USA, August 23, 2013 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A new trend called gray divorce is on the rise across the country. Manchester based divorce attorney Jon N. Strasburger says older husbands and wives are more likely to need an attorney during this process.

The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers reports that more people over the age of 50 are filing for divorce than ever before. The reasons for this surge in what’s being called “gray divorce” can be myriad and are still being examined by researchers. The trend has even reached Hollywood, with celebrities like Al Gore and Robin Williams getting divorced after decades of marriage. In Gore’s case, he and wife Tipper were both over the age of 60 when they decided to divorce after 40 years.

For those over 50, divorce can be just as necessary as it is for a younger couple, yet much more complicated. Jon N. Strasburger, a Manchester divorce attorney, has represented clients of all ages and says the divorce of an older couple is typically harder because they are at a different stage of life. For a young couple with little shared property and few financial obligations, there usually isn’t much to negotiate over. It is easy to separate, write the loss off as a life lesson, and move on. An older couple, however may have shared property, retirement funds, investments, vehicles and personal possessions to divide.

There can be many divorce related issues Manchester couples have to negotiate, including alimony, child support and the division of assets . Hiring a lawyer can be helpful even if the parties still get along and want to resolve things amicably. A Manchester divorce lawyer like Jon N. Strasburger can offer advice on how to divide everything fairly and prepare the documentation needed to make all the agreements legally enforceable.

In addition to divorce, Manchester based attorney Jon N. Strasburger can assist clients with medical malpractice lawsuits, car accidents, personal injury complaints and all aspects of family law.
