”Grey divorce” is growing among Canadians 55 and older.

 

And, Statistics Canada says the divorce rates are expected to increase as more people continue to age.

 

It says divorces among couples 65 and older are becoming more and more common.

 

In 2008, there were more than 12-hundred divorces among women 65 and older; nearly 25-hundred among men of that age and 852 divorces where both partners were over the age of 65.
