The fastest growing segment of divorces by age are senior citizens. And splitting up the finances at a date when it could affect the ability to retire is a big concern. Since reverse mortgages are open to 62 year old and older homeowners with equity, it's possible to factor a reverse mortgage as part of the plan for a divorcing senior who wants to stay in the home while allowing the equity to be paid out to the other party.
