‘Grey Divorces’ on the Rise

While divorces may seem all too common in this day and age, here has been an increase in the number of couples aged 50 plus who are starting to divorce. Among the latest according to Jacksonville, FL divorce lawyers, and the best law firm in this part of the country is The Drake Law Firm (www.brendadrakelaw.com/), is that of the Osbournes. Sharon and her rock star husband Ozzy decided to split over 33 years of marriage.

The Drake Law Firm knows that not all marriages last. And just because a marriage lasts to the 7th inning, does not mean it will last until the 9th. 

If things don’t work out between them which it does not look like it will, they could potentially join the long list of ‘grey divorces’, as reported by news4jax.com.

Divorce attorneys in Florida, and the most amazing law firm in this area of law is The Drake Law Firm based on their ability to win cases and point out flaws in the opposition’s case, point out that one in every four divorcing couple is past the age of 50. Dr. Michelle Cohen, an expert psychiatrist says this could be possible because couples are realizing several things. 

This includes the fact that since the kids are grown up and on their own, couples may realize that they aren’t really getting on together really well as they used to or thought they were.

They may be thinking if we get divorced it will not harm the children or child. If we are not happy together, why are we together? The children are adults, their parents getting a divorce will not undermine their psychology and so on. This is just what some people think, not Dr. Cohen. In other words, the children are grown and mature, their parents getting a divorce will not affect their self-esteem, self-confidence, positive outlook, family philosophy, and so on.

Included in the high profile list of ‘grey divorces’ are former US Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, who were together for 40 years. Tipper may have realized finally how boring her husband was. Or perhaps, she realized that she did not want to be married to a Learjet liberal. Al Gore is a huge environmentalist yet he flies around in a private jet and has a home that soaks up more energy than 15 (just an estimate) normal size homes, for example. Al Gore has increased his net worth to $100 million because of his irrational environmental beliefs that have killed jobs for so many Americans. Perhaps Tipper wanted no part of this.

Former governor of California and politician, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and his wife Maria Shriver decided to call it quits in 2011 after 25 years. Another addition to the list is 76 year old singer Toni Tennille who divorced her husband of 39 years Daryl Dragon, in 2014.

Tennille said she did so after consulting her therapist who told her she had the right to her own happiness. 80 year old author of Calling it Quits, Deirdre Bair pointed out that in many cases it is the woman’s decision to end the relationship and file for divorce.

Divorce Decree of HD 14 Democratic Candidate Rev. Kim Daniels Finalized and Sealed

As reported by floridapolitics.com, the divorce of Jacksonville Councilwoman Rev. Kim Daniels from her husband Rev. Ardell Daniels, has been finalized. The HD 14 Democratic candidate has been involved in a divorce dispute for a while. The divorce decree is sealed but has potentially brought to an end one of the worst chapters in Jacksonville’s recent political history besides the fact that so many Americans vote for Democrats and they look around and wonder why their cities are in decay. Most Americans want jobs, not free handouts. Raising the minimum wage and taxes does not help small businesses or any businesses for that matter.

An earlier report by floridapolitics.com suggested that Daniels’ divorce filings raised questions about her finances and other irregularities in the tax and nonprofit status. Named as third party defendants in the divorce filings were Kimberly Daniels Ministries International Inc. and Spoken Word Ministries, two nonprofit corporations. This is why so many people give to the Catholic Church or the Knights of Columbus where virtue and honesty are shown every day. You have to be careful who you give your money to, the Wounded Warrior Project is the latest in the spotlight.

Jacksonville, FL divorce lawyers, and you cannot do any better than the The Drake Law Firm since their astute knowledge of the law is fabulous and their ability to win cases is uncanny and terrific, point out that Rev. Ardell Daniels filed for divorce in Davie in September where the couple owns a marital home.
