This study focuses on the economic consequences of divorce for the elderly. Family incomes of elderly white divorced men and women were compared with their married counterparts for five SES categories. Using t-tests, it was found that, for both genders, incomes for divorced persons were lower than incomes for married persons. Family incomes were regressed on a set of four control variables and a marital status variable. The marital status variable was statistically significant for the total sample for both sexes. The marital status variable was statistically significant for two SES categories for females and one for males.
