Course description

For the first time, the 'average' age of divorce directly coincides with the 'average' age at which women may start to experience symptoms of menopause. Separately, there has been a significant, sustained focus on the symptoms of menopause, how they affect individuals, business and the economy.

Earning capacity and needs are often the most important factors in any particular matter, upon which menopausal symptoms can have a significant and lasting impact. Family lawyers need to be conscious of the issues, and be ready to meet each client's particular current and future needs so that financial remedy agreements stand the test of time.

Presented by Jennifer Williamson, a partner at Blake Morgan, this webinar will explore the key issues to be aware of in just 30 minutes.
