More Gray Divorces in Fairfax County

In Fairfax County, Virginia more Baby Boomers are getting divorces adding to the phenomenon of ‘gray divorce’ in which couples over 55 are separating.

Now called the “divorce capital of Virginia, ” the county was found to have a rising divorce rate from 9.1 per cent to 11.8 per cent for men between the ages of 55 and 64. For men over 65 the divorce rate rose from 5.2 per cent to 6.6 per cent.

Financial strain and greater financial independence have both been linked to the rising divorce rate. Also, senior divorce in Thailand has been on the rise as many retirees come to the Kingdom to live out their retirement and settle for separation in the process.
