Never Screw the Golden Years

Studies show that married couples are more satisfied with their life after the age of 70 but interestingly overall alcoholism is one of the most common factors causing a breakdown of a marriage with at least one spouse being said to have abused alcohol in 57% of cases.

The study does not say whether the other spouse also abuses alcohol, or indeed what alcohol abuse means.  A good article by Francis Gibb thetimes.co.uk is worth a read.

There are many forms of alcoholism.  One involves somebody who says “I could die for a gin and tonic” upon coming home from work.  Another is the sort who having had one drink wants the second more than that, and the third more than that and so on.

One thing is quite certain.  In a divorce at any age expert advice at an early stage is invaluable.  Contact us at hylton-Potts.com
