[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP keep in mind you are entitled to half of all of your assets including half of retirements. I think also get half his social security since you were married more than 10 years but I’m not sure about that.

I’m 43 and if I got divorced I could make do with 1/2 of our current assets and a minimum wage job.[/quote]

You are right that you can get half of spouses SS if married 10 or more years, assuming half is more than your own full SS.  Then if spouse dies before you you can get their full SS instead of your own.[/quote]

This just happened to a friend of my mom who has been divorced for like 35 years (but 15 year marriage I think). The ex-husband died and her SS doubled overnight. She was mightily surprised.[/quote]

Wow I didn't know you could continue getting x spouses ss if he dies. But what if he remarried in another country?[/quote]

remarriage of the ex-spouse does not affect your benefits or rights to collect survivor benefits based on ex's work record.  Both the wife at time of ex's death and the former wife can collect survivor benefits (assuming the second marriage meets the time requirements).[/quote]
