Have you thought about getting a divorce? We’ll learn what you need to know and how the process works in Mississippi with guest attorney, Francis Springer. https://www.springerlawoffice.com/ Baby boomer divorce rates have risen dramatically over the last 30 years. So-called gray divorce rates, amongst adults aged 50+, the national divorce rate has roughly doubled since 1990. For those aged 65+, it has actually tripled, from 2 in 1,000 married persons to 6 in 1,000. This indicates people over 50 are more likely to get divorced now than ever before. Did you know: America has the third-highest divorce rate in the world. We’re after the Maldives and Belarus. https://legaljobs.io/blog/divorce-rate-in-america/Francis Springer has been very generous with his time and volunteering to be a guest on In Legal Terms.
