Best Answer

Yes, if the couple was married at least ten years and the surviving spouse is at least 60 years of age (survivors' retirement benefits) or 50, if disabled -- provided the surviving ex-spouse hasn't remarried and remained married. He or she must be single when the former husband or wife dies to qualify for compensation.

A surviving ex-spouse may receive survivors' benefits at any age if caring for the decedent's natural or legally adopted minor children under age 16.

The Survivor may remarry after age 60 (or 50, if disabled) without jeopardizing his or her Social Security survivors' benefits.

What can you do if divorce judgment indemnifies you from mortgage and credit card debt but companies refuse to recognize Superior court order?

A shaky issue. Likely as not, you are on the contract for these debts with your exspouse. The court that granted your divorce separated you from the debt, and only the courts can legally break a contract when both parties do not agree to it. You have the recourse to appear in court if the creditors attempt to sue you and produce the order from the divorce court indemnifying you. Likely as not the presiding judge will honor the order from the divorce judge, and the creditors will have no option at that point but to pursue your exspouse. Be prepared to cooperate with the court if the judge requests any location or asset information on your exspouse from you. This can only help your case.

What legal action can you take if your exspouse lies to get you thrown in jail?

Prove that they were lying. This will result in them being prosecuted for perjury and possibly defamation (if the accusation was made public). You should also be fully expunged, and may be compensated by either the court or the person in question.


Does a divorced spouse with a valid will that never changed have recourse against the exspouse estate after death?

Answer: A will made during marriage would become void after a judgment of divorce as to any provisions made for the ex-spouse unless it specifically states otherwise. Divorce decrees generally refer to a Separation Agreement made by the parties. Those agreements usually include a statement that the property has been divided and each party is surrendering any claim they may ever have to the other's estate forever. I think you may however have standing to make a claim for child support arrears.

Can you file for bankruptcy after divorce and include the joing mortgage?

Filing for bankruptcy after a divorce when there are a lot of joint obligations can complicate things but it is not uncommon. When a person files for bankruptcy they can only file for their debt obligations and so the court may not allow you to do it for a joint mortgage if that would be unfair to your exspouse or they cannot separate the debts. This is something to think about and I would recommend you contact an attorney to determine what debts can be discharged and what debts cannot.


How can you get child support from an exspouse who has been ordered to and is on unemployment in Texas?

I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency. When you get an interview with them, bring all the papers relating to your child support: birth certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent. Good luck! If the order was based on his earned income, prior to the layoff, you should work with him to get a modification filed with the AG.


Can a 13 year old have have the right to leave a parents home if a parent chooses to be in a lesbian type situation and the EXspouse lives with ex her lover in fact bought a house with them?

Nope! I think you have to be at least 16. Maybe have a chat to the parents or parent about the situation tell them how you feel about it. Trust me running away from the situation is the last thing you want to do. If you have another parent maybe ask if you can live with them for a while to get use to the whole thing or even a grandparent. Best advise i can give you . Age 18 see links below I hear there is a special form that you can get from the government to not live with your parents and become independent, but the parent has to sign.
