Prenups and Retirement Planning: Saying "I Do" In Later Life

An older couple celebrate at their wedding.

Prenups and retirement planning don't sound like a match made in heaven — but there's a growing need for them to go hand in hand. Around 11,400 U.S. adults will celebrate their 65th birthday in 2025, and an increasing number of them will be celebrating a new marriage in their senior years — or experiencing the end of one.

According to a 2024 Bowling Green University study, over-65s are the only age group in the U.S. who've experienced an increase in remarriage rates. A different study noted that this is the only age group with an increasing divorce rate, and around one in three adults getting divorced (36%) is aged 50 or older.
