if i divorce my husband do i get half of his va benefits and half of his social security disability half?

Question

need answers that are true

Answer 1

No. His VA entitlements are for himself,survivors or dependents, which you would no longer be. Social security (FICA) is a program that is federally funded through our own contributions, deducted from employers. If you've worked a day in your life,you have contributed to your own account. It is waiting for you when the time comes. Getting half of any of these combined is still pennies. Get your divorce and get a job.The only item that is split during a divorce is marital debt and assets, such as real property and pensions. By the way, you're question started with the word "IF". If you are not sure you want a divorce get you guys some help/counseling through the VA while it is there for you. You base the decision of getting divorced on your financial benefit or disadvantage. You are sad. You'd much rather be miserable with money than be humble and free. Since it is an inconvenience for you to do for yourself and benefit from other's hard work, I included some links to help you answer your questions. I googled it for you, less work for you. AS MOST PARTICIPANTS WOULD AGREE, THERE'S YOUR BEST AND TRUE ANSWER!

Answer 3

In Louisiana - you are not entitled to his VA benefits but if he retired you are entitiled a an aportionment. To be eligible for any pensions or retirement you would only if married for 10 years. If he is on disability, no you would not. However, if you have children under age 18. Social Security will match 1/2 of his disability and distribute that 1/2 among his children equally. This would not apply to any step children. This is not to be considered legal advice. This is merely an answer to a question.

Answer 4

No, you will likely not get any of those benefits. But, you sure painted a nice picture of yourself by asking.

But, if you have been working while he has been on disability, he may be able to get spousal support from you for a period of time. If your salary is considerably more that his benefits, he will likely get spousal support. If you initiate the divorce, this will make it more likely. Also, he will likely get part of your retirement through your employer.

You will get half the marital assets, property, and debt, just as he will. The woman in a marriage isn't entitles to half of the man's finances. Each person is entitled to 1/2 of everything accumulated during the marriage. On rare occasions, whomever stays home with the children may get spousal support depending on the circumstances. But, this is becoming less and less common as time passes.

Answer 5

It depends on what state you divorce in. How long you have been married...You probably can not touch his disability, and you shouldn't. The social security most likely you can, but YOU have to be a certain age to collect.
You need to talk to an attorney. Be careful what you go after, wish for karma will bite you in the a***

Answer 6

Receiving benefits based on a former spouse may be possible, but when it is allowed it is limited by law and based on the number of years you were married, whether or not either of you have re-married, and other specifics. You would need to check with Social Security and the Veterans Administration for details.

Answer 7

I would speak with an attorney on this one. They say you get half of everything but I don't know about VA or Social Security. You can usually see an attorney for a free consult.

Answer 8

Depends on how long you have been married. Contact the social security office in your area to get answers strait from the source.

Answer 9

call a va office in your state and also call social security and they'll tell you if you can or not

Answer 10

If you loved him at all you wouldn't be going after his benefits.

You have to be married approx. 10 years or more..this is according to CA Law.
