Hi, I remember reading an article about a women getting divorced and her husband is stopping alimony when he turns age 65. What has anybody come up with in order to have health insurance, a settlement in the wife’s favor – any suggestions? Thanks, Debbie

Divorce laws are complex and different in every state. You need to talk to a lawyer in your state. When we divorced (a very complicated “bifurcated divorce” where we were divorced before the property settlement was negotiated) one of the things the judge was concerned about was my access to health insurance. Point being – each circumstance is different. Don’t forget to take into account your rights to claiming social security based on his earnings record, if soc sec is in your near future.
My divorce was successful because I found an attorney that was a “shark” through a friend. Also, my brother-in-law told me, “take the emotions out of it; it’s now a business deal”. I did both of these things and I did very well.
Advice from friends stinks! Talk with and interview several lawyers and the above post is correct this about business not emotion get emotional and the results most likely will not be satisfactory. Another thing you may not get everything you want that doesn’t make it a bad deal because this is business. Also be realistic in your dealings both with your lawyer, x-spouse and everyone else. Everyone will want to give advice, free advice is worth what it costs, when you buy advice listen to it and ask questions about it and verify the facts. Again this is business so make the best deal you can and move on.
