Hi Colleen, how did the dinner go? Or should I ask?Yes...unfortunately...that's very true.

I stand corrected! In the case of divorce after having been married at least 10 years, you're entitled to 50% of his SS. Therefore, your SS would need to be LESS THAN 50% of his SS. You would get the difference between what you get and what it would take to get to 50% of his.In addition, since you've been married for more than 10 years, if his SS is more than yours, yours will be recalculated so that you'll get the difference between what you get and what his amounts to. For instance, if your SS is $1500/month and his is $2000/month, after a divorce, yours will be $2000/month, and the amount he gets won't be affected. (Forgive me, I don't do numbers so just chose some nice round numbers, but you get the idea.)
I bet you are rightI think of Colleen every Sunday and check this thread to see if she's posted again. She probably got tired of us piling on with un-asked-for advice when she stated that she was just venting.
Yeah, I'm dying to know how things are working out, has she put her foot down and claimed her territory/home? Hope things are better for her.I think of Colleen every Sunday and check this thread to see if she's posted again.

Yes I agree I’m always trying to find solutions to problems for people I guess it comes from being a counselor for so many years.Yeah, I'm dying to know how things are working out, has she put her foot down and claimed her territory/home? Hope things are better for her.
I think it's a good idea for posters to state they're just venting, otherwise we can't blame responders to assume they're looking for solution ideas.

Oh, darn, my apologies! She did say it = "I'm just venting. Maybe it will help to say it to someone here that's not involved. "She did say she was venting!
Lewkat, Colleen didn't like nursing and pursued another career. It's not likely that she'd sign back up to do something she didn't like.I too, am an R.N. and I know I could get a job anywhere and be able to live independently today. Totally puzzled by this.
