It is well‐documented that residential moves are connected to life events such as
separation or widowhood. However, much less is known about the residential
choices that follow these events in middle and later life (between ages 50 and 70)
and how the location of family members outside the household relates to these
choices. Comparing the cases of Belgium and Sweden, this paper addresses (i) the
extent to which (im)mobility after separation or widowhood is associated with the
presence of older parents and adult children nearby; (ii) the extent to which the
choice of destination is associated with the location of older parents and adult
children for those separated, widowed, and married individuals who moved, and (iii)
how these patterns vary among men and women. We answer these questions
employing logistic regression models and discrete‐choice models fitted to Belgian
and Swedish register data from 2012 to 2014. The results show unique patterns of
mobility around separation and widowhood which differ from those of continuously
married individuals. Separated and widowed men and women in both countries are
generally more likely to make a move towards their parents than continuously
married ones. Widowhood is also associated with an increased propensity for a
move towards one's children. In contrast, separation is associated with a lower
propensity for moving towards one's children, especially among men
