More over-60s are getting divorced

There has been a rise in the number of people in the over-60 age group getting divorced in the UK, reports the Telegraph. Over a two year period, figures have risen by 4%, taking the number of over-60s granted a divorce to around 11,500 a year.

 

According to the Office for National Statistics, the total number of divorces for all age groups for the same two year period fell by 11%.

 

Speaking to the Telegraph, Ros Altmann, director general of the over-50s group Saga, said:

 

“This is more proof that life is really changing for the over-60s and for many it’s the start of the next phase of their lives, not the end of their life as people in the past were often led to expect.”
