Emma Katz Discusses Grey Divorce With The Globe And Mail

Aug 25, 2026

Kelly D. Jordan Family Law lawyer Emma Katz was recently interviewed by The Globe and Mail for its August 19, 2026 article, “Can older Canadians afford to leave a marriage? The costs of ‘grey divorce.’” The article explores the financial realities of separation later in life and how divorce can affect retirement plans, property, investments and future income. Emma provided insight into Ontario’s equalization process, including how assets accumulated during a marriage are addressed and how certain gifts and inheritances may be treated.

Emma also discussed considerations surrounding investments and retirement assets after a long marriage, as well as the role income can play in determining spousal support when both spouses are retired. These issues can be particularly important in a grey divorce, when spouses may have decades of accumulated assets and less time to rebuild financially following separation.
