Divorce changes a lot, but one thing often gets overlooked: long-term care planning.
I hear the same misconceptions all the time:
“It won’t happen to me”
“Medicare or Medicaid will cover it”
“I’ll just use my savings”
Here’s the reality:
Once you turn 65, there’s about a 70% chance you’ll need some form of long-term care.
And most people aren’t fully prepared for the cost, coverage gaps, or decisions involved.
If you’re divorced, this kind of planning becomes even more important—because the assumptions you may have relied on before may no longer apply.
The good news? You have options - especially if you start planning early.
