A study of baby boomer divorced women and their divorce experiences
         "This qualitative study explored the experiences of 25 women who experienced a later life divorce (i.e., ages 50–64). The current divorce literature contains very little information on the experiences of this group of women (also known as baby boomers) and this study addressed this gap. Participants for the study included women who parented with the man they divorced, and who were at least two years post divorce, with the divorce happening at or beyond age 48. Participants were asked about the divorce itself and the adjustment years post divorce, the challenges they faced, and which resources they utilized that either helped or hindered them during their divorce adjustment process."--From abstract.
