Well yeah but when it comes to the divorce settlement everything goes in a big pile and gets divided by two regardless of whose name is on it.[/quote]

Not in Maryland. If he is disabled, the split may not be 50-50 and the court may order lifetime alimony. [/quote]

So is she financially better off staying married to him, but depleting his assets on his care [by this, I just mean accounts that are in his name only, if there are any] and keeping her assets separate?  Or is she better off divorcing him with the possibility of lifetime alimony?  Clearly they have issues - just wondering how OP and other women in a similar situation (meaning women who have terminally ill husbands who need care but are concerned their spouse will not adequately provide for them in his will or with life insurance) could protect themselves in situations like this?

Why should women be protected? Life happens. Some husbands die. Some wives die. A friend's dad is having a bad retirement because his wife died while in her 50s, and he was counting on her pension to pay half of his retirement. [/quote]
