After decades of running the household, managing the children, paying the bills, and keeping the family calendar, you are now facing a divorce from a husband who never ran the house. You may feel uncertain about your financial picture, unsure of your legal rights, and overwhelmed by the practical work of separating a life that you held together. This book is written for you. It guides you through the emotional territory of ending a long marriage while helping you untangle the domestic and financial asymmetries that built up over years. You will learn what questions to ask a solicitor, how to gather hidden information, what to consider about pensions and the family home, and how to build a budget for your solo household. Alongside the practical steps, you will find permission to grieve, to feel angry, and to slowly reclaim your own identity. This is not a book about blame—it is about clarity, control, and the future you deserve. Part of The Later-Life Divorce Library.
