Adult children experience more engagement with their aging parents as life expectancy increases (Connidis, 2020). This reality may lead to role reversal as parents grow older and their physical and mental abilities change (e.g., Rossi & Rossi, 2018). Late-life divorce is also expanding in Western countries due to increased life expectancy and changes in social perceptions. Along with these trends, divorce is being viewed as an opportunity for self-determination rather than as a failure. While the divorce rate among young adults remains stable, the increase in late-life divorce, especially among adults aged 65 years and older, raises questions about how they will handle old age and the consequences for individuals and families (Brown & Lin, 2022).
