My husband & I separated after 9 years of marriage. The divorce will not be complete till after 10 years, do I still get the benefits of 10 years?
Question Details: My husband and I have been married 9 years. At that time, he told me he doesn't want to be married to me anymore and I moved into my daughters bedroom. He filed for divorce 4 months later. The divorce will not be final till after our 10th anniversary. He told me, I am not entitled to receive the monetary benefits (such as his social security) of being married 10 years, because the separation date was at 9 years. I do not work, as I was diagnosed with CFS before we married. I am unable to get ss on my own because I don't have enough work time in. Is what he says true?
You may be entititled to continued health benefits, as well as alimony. If you have not already sought spousal support or temporary alimony, or alimony after the divorce is finalized, we can help you get that. Please call for free consult.
