Genetic hemophilia is a life-long chronic condition. A person would have it all of their life, from birth to death.
Acquired hemophilia happens as a result of some other circumstance and is not directly linked to age. A person may get acquired hemophilia from causes such as extensive liver damage or certain medications. Since these conditions normally occur in older populations it generally trends that way but is no way limited to that age set.

It is actually not possible to 'get' hemophilia. Hemophilia is passed on from the mother (the carrier) to the son, not the daughter as it is rare for a girl. A boy has two chromosomes, an X and a Y, and girl has two X's. Hemophilia is inherited through the X chromosome, so a girl can carry hemophilia, but unless she inherits hemophilia on both of her chromosomes, she can't have the disease. REGARDING YOUR QUESTION, It is actually not confirmed whether Lincoln had hemophilia, people suspected some sort of genetic disorder, there were two suspected and hemophilia was one. People didn't know very much of the disease when Abraham was president. In fact is wasn't a named disease until 1828, and then hemophiliacs often didn't live pass the age of thirteen. With not much doctors could do to stop bleeding, and considering the age of Abraham its unlikely he had hemophilia.
No, Hemophilia does not discriminate on age, race or religion. Hemophilia is a genetic disorder (with the exception of acquired hemophilia) and therefore an individual has hemophilia from the the time they are born until they die. There is one very rare form of genetic hemophilia where the individual "outgrows" the disorder. In fact, the hormonal changes that take place during puberty increase the production of the clotting proteins to a point above the 50% cut off for being considered as having hemophilia. the genetics however, remain the same.
Hemophilia is one disease in which blood does not clot normally. von Willebrand's Disease
There is no chance that the child will have hemophilia even if the spouse has hemophilia. Any girls the couple has will be carriers if the spouse has hemophilia.

There are no hard answers to this, it depends strictly on luck. The statistics are though not very good for their children. Statisically the couple have a chance of having a normal son, a daughter that is a carrier for hemophilia, a daughter with hemophilia and a son with hemophia.
