Saratoga Divorce Attorney Discusses Sharing Your Social Security Benefits

Social Security Benefits During DivorceI am often asked as a Saratoga Divorce Attorney if you will have to share your social security benefits if you go through a divorce.  The short answer is yes, if you are a divorced spouse and you were married for a period of 10 years or more. There are certain other criteria that the Social Security Administration will review in determining your eligibility to take on your ex-spouse’s work record.  As a Saratoga Divorce Attorney I encourage you to visit our website for a link for the Social Security Administration’s page on divorced spouses.
