Divorced Survivor Benefits Eligibility
Summary
To qualify for divorced survivor benefits, you must meet specific criteria, including age and marriage duration. Your marriage must have lasted at least 10 years, and you should not have remarried before age 60 (or 50 if disabled). The official divorce date is crucial for Social Security benefits, not the reservation of issues. California Family Code § 2337 allows bifurcation of marital status from other issues, while § 2105 requires asset and debt disclosure. For personalized advice, consult a family law attorney.Full Conversation
