Claims this source supports

• A family lawyer interviewed by Flow Space reports roughly 70% of her clients are 50 or older, and the majority are women initiating the divorce.
• Most gray divorces among her clients are not tied to an activating event - no affair, no explosion; the marriage simply eroded over time.
• Women's higher initiation rates in late-life divorce are noted across 2026 gray-divorce coverage, alongside the financial stakes (income drops and elevated poverty risk for women post-divorce).
