How can menopause affect Divorce? According to the survey by the Family Law Menopause Project and Newson Health Research and Education, eight out of 10 women experiencing marriage difficulties said the symptoms of the perimenopause or menopause put a strain on their family life. This makes sense when you think that some of the common symptoms (peri)menopause experienced can include hot flushes, difficulty sleeping and night sweats, low mood and anxiety, low libido, and difficulty concentrating. Needless to say these will impact not just the person going through (peri) menopause - but also their partner …so the statistics make sense. Our guest in episode 4 of the podcast What’s in it for me Farhana Shahzady shares her work and insights on this important topic. Farhana is Divorce & Family Lawyer, Mediator & Collaborative Practitioner & Director at Family Law Partners, and is the founder of The Family Law Menopause Project. The aim of the project is to raise awareness amongst the family law community of the impact of menopause so that family lawyers can ensure that their advice leads to the fairest financial outcome for female clients as they approach retirement. Enjoy this incredibly interesting conversation with Farhana!
