How are social security benefits handled in divorce?
/Many Bay Area clients ask about their social security benefits in a divorce.
In a California divorce, you are eligible to collect benefits based on your ex-spouses work record if (1) you have been married at least 10 years, (2) you have been divorced for at least 2 years, (3) you are at least 62 years old, and (4) you are currently unmarried.
