[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife has not worked in 20 years. She came into marriage 20k cash and a Toyota with a loan.

My net worth was 100k

Today our net worth 5 million of which she gets 2.5 million in divorce. She also collects my full SS as married over 10 year

[/quote]. +1. This is DH and I, the numbers are slightly different, but in the same ballparks.  Plus, I have a small pension from before- which would e split or accounted. [/quote]

Our numbers aren’t quite that high.  But similar. We have been married for 30 years.  It’s hard for me to imagine a divorce.  Our kids are grown.  We love spending time together.  Sex is still great.  But if something snapped and he decided to leave, I am most definitely set financially.  Half of our net worth.  Full SS.  Likely a big chunk of his very good Fed retirement.  I’m not too concerned.  [/quote]

I thought divorced spouses (married 10+ years, not remarried) could be paid half of their ex's SS benefit, not full?[/quote]
