Describe advantages and disadvantages of experiencing divorce in midlife. You might
consider factors such as income, identity, mutual friends, investments, children and other
family members, and the fact that dividing households later in a marriage will require
divvying up items bought as a couple. How might divorce during young adulthood or late
adulthood be different in terms of such factors? How might separation be different for
long-term relationships where partners have been together but not married?
