If the ex-spouse has been remarried for more than 10 years, will he/she still be able to receive half of the other spouse s Social Security?
The ex-spouse now has a new spouse and is no longer entitled to the former spouse’s benefits. The exception to this is that if he/she is married to his/her second spouse 10 years or longer and then gets divorced, he/she will be able to received half of his/her Social Security on retirement or half of the former spouse’s or his/her own account, whichever is higher. He/She has that choice at the time of retirement.
