Frequently Asked Questions

How does receiving SSI affect my divorce settlement?
SSI is generally not considered marital property in a divorce, but the calculation of what constitutes marital assets and how support is determined can be complex when disability is involved. Finlayson can explain how your specific situation works under Colorado law.
Can I set up a special needs trust if I'm receiving disability benefits?
Yes. A special needs trust, properly structured, allows family members to provide financial support without reducing your SSI benefits. This is an important planning tool that Finlayson can help you establish through proper estate planning.
What happens to my disability benefits if I get divorced?
Your own benefits typically continue unchanged. However, if you were entitled to spousal or dependent benefits, divorce affects those. Finlayson works to ensure your divorce agreement protects your benefits while addressing all financial issues fairly.
