socail security and divorce
i was married 10/6/99 and i filed for
a seperation in 1/9/09 if my husband
decides not to sign the seperation
agreement and filed for divorce in
2/09 and the divorce is finalized
before 10/6/2009 would i be entiled
to his social security when he retires.
according to socail security you have
to be married for 10 yrs, or do i
need to try and drag on the divorce
so i could get as close as possible to
10/6/09 to get his socail security
which would be soooo much better
than mine because his income is
100k yrly. help .

Re: socail security and divorce
Social security benefits are received after 10 years of marriage. Therefore, you should wait until after October 6, 2009 in order to be eligible for husband's social security benefits.
