A person can receive benefits as a divorced spouse's on a former spouse'sSSif he or she was married at least 10 years and is not entitled to a higher ss benefits on his or her own record. This mean my ex-husband, who heinously and viciously battered myself and my childern and then refused to work as an honest living to provide for their care would have a right to my ss. This is incredulous! I have been a taxpayer my entire life and have been working to support my family. This batterer should not be compensated by my hard work. When he still owes me $60,000 plus in child support. Section 469 (42U.S.C.659) of the Compilation of the ss laws. This law is allowing this man to continue to exercise power and control over me. Please help me and every other domestic violence survivor.
