Age is not a barrier to divorce. Individuals at any age can seek a divorce if they are unhappy in their marriage. At 50, many people experience significant life changes and reevaluate their relationships. While there may be financial, emotional, and logistical considerations, the decision to divorce is personal and can lead to a happier, more fulfilling life for some. It’s essential to consult with legal and financial advisors to understand the implications specific to one’s situation.
