Indiana Law - Can Social Security Be Divided?
Social Security of one party may
not
be directly assigned to another party.
However, the amount of social security a party is receiving, or will be receiving,
may influence the amount of alimony the court awards or the property division the
court makes.
It is worth mentioning that in marriages that have lasted ten years or more, the
divorced spouse is entitled to receive 50% of the former spouse's benefit.
This is in addition to, not in place of, the former spouse's own benefit. The
former spouse continues to receive his or her own benefit in the full amount.
