A: It really depends what other property you are dividing as well. It sounds like she'd be eligible to elect to take part of you social security, but what many people don't know I'd that this doesn't affect your distribution. Crazy, I know, but that is one of the many rea sons my generation cannot count on social security.

Talk to local counsel and fil them in on the details. They will advise you on your options concerning division of property.
