FAQ
In general, disability benefits are often considered separate property and not subject to division in a divorce. This is because disability benefits are intended to compensate an individual for their own disability and are typically not considered marital assets.
A prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can prevent many alimony disputes. Such marital agreements allow couples to agree beforehand on whether spousal support would be awarded in the event of a divorce. California's Family Code 1612 states that couples can agree to waive spousal support in a prenup or postnup.
The person asking for alimony must show the court that he or she needs financial support, and that the other spouse has the ability to provide financial support.
Louis Harris & Associates, which has surveyed the relationships of people with disabilities for the National Organization on Disability since 1984, found that 13 percent of those it surveyed last year were divorced, compared with 11 percent in 1994 and 9 percent in 1984.
Such accumulated sums would, however, be considered by courts in equitable division states when determining overall property distributions. When calculating alimony, SSDI payments are considered income, while SSI is not.
Some methods for terminating alimony payments in Michigan include: Show your spouse has remarried — State law says you can ask the courts to terminate your alimony payments if your spouse has remarried. Ask for a termination date in your divorce decree — You should not have to support your ex-spouse forever.
If you were married for at least 10 years to your former spouse, you may be eligible for monthly benefits based on their earnings record, even if they have remarried. In order to receive these benefits, you must be at least 62 years old and have a disability that prevents you from working.
