I have a hard time answering your question with respect to whether or not your former wife can receive 65% of your social security. If the marital dissolution agreement does not state any entitlement to your social security benefits, she is not entitled to such as a matter of law.
As such, I recommend that you carefully read the marital settlement agreement and judgment concerning you and your former wife in that such documents will answer your question.
