The Late-Divorce Phenomenon: The Causes and Impact of Ending 20-Year-Old or Longer Marriages

Deckert, Pamela; Langelier, Regis

Journal of Divorce, 1, 4, 381-90, Sum 78

This study examined late divorce occurring after 20 years or more of marriage. Divorce was rated the highest in stress for any major life event. Even though divorce resulted in much social readjustment and stress, it also resulted in positive feelings, personal independence, and relief. Subjects were 427 Quebec residents. (Author)
