Am I wasting my time?

I started a Law degree through the Open Uni 7 years ago. During my first year, I fell pregnant. I completed that year, then deferred for a while. I went back part-time and completed the second year. I then fell pregnant again and deferred again. I'm now enrolled part-time again to finish my final year, however, it's been so long now since I started that the entire course content has changed and I've been unable to continue with a degree in Law. My only option now is to move my completed modules over to an Open Degree and finish with an open degree. Is there, realistically, any point to me finishing? I'm 37, I will be 39 when I finish as it's part-time.
I have been able to convert my completed modules into a Certificate of Higher Education in Law. Should I just cut my losses and walk away with that and be happy?

What is the goal? What do you plan to use the degree for? That would determine my advice really.
