Calling It Quits: Late-Life Divorce and Starting Over
by Deirdre Bair
From Publishers Weekly:
The inspiration for this book came from a magazine survey on late-life divorce in AARP that Bair came across in her dentist's waiting room. It hit a chord with Bair, whose own marriage had ended in divorce after 43 years, and she set out to find the stories behind the statistics. Bair, an award-winning literary biographer (Samuel Beckett), turned her sights on a group of men, women and adult children who have been affected by late-life divorce. She found that more divorces were initiated by women, which puts into question the assumptions both that men always leave for younger women and that ex-wives seldom find love again. But the several hundred North Americans and Europeans Bair talked to hardly constitute what she terms a "social earthquake." Nor does Bair offer any advice or answers as to why some long-term marriages go on the rocks. (Curiously, the divorce she stands to have the most insight into—her own—she is less than forthcoming about.) Bair's intent is simply to ask questions in the hope of furthering a dialogue on the subject. Readers will not find answers, but those going through a late-life divorce will encounter personal stories, all-too human ones, that they will identify with. (Jan. 30)

Divorce: Preparing For Legal, Financial & Personal Decisions (Socrates Answers)
by Socrates Media (Editor)
A generation or two ago, divorce was considered "unusual"; now it is virtually institutionalized, with some 50% of all marriages dissolved. Nevertheless such views do not minimize or mitigate the overwhelming personal, financial, legal, social and familial trauma that former partners, their children and their families suffer when divorce proceedings are undertaken. Over time, the vast majority of divorce participants overcome their fears, anxieties and financial setbacks to evolve as more mature, sophisticated and realistic individuals, ready and willing to go about life’s tasks with vigor and productivity. But before that "final stage" there is a sustained period of time which requires personal support, financial advice, legal acumen and a gritty determination "to see it through". Divorce: Preparing for Legal, Financial and Personal Decisions is a thought-provoking, evocative, detailed and disciplined call to action to understand what divorce is about, what the decision to seek a divorce means now and what life will be like in the future.
* This Socrates book offers more than just dry legal and financial information. We have interviewed experts and divorced couples to give you the whole story. * Go the free web landing page for this book and you will get the latest information, ideas and opinions about money, law and divorce. * The free CD-ROM with each book offers more than what is printed on the page...interviews, forms, self-appraisals, facts and figures.
