One of the benefits of marriage in Ohio is the ability to collect spousal Social Security benefits. Even when one spouse earns little or no income, they could still potentially collect up to 50% of their significant other's full benefits if they qualify for Social Security. However, benefits aren't necessarily lost just because a marriage ends.
What to do about insurance in divorce
When people in Ohio get divorced, they may need to address issues pertaining to both health insurance and life insurance. In many couples, one person has the family on an employer-sponsored health insurance plan. This means that after a divorce, a person may need to look into coverage from COBRA or another plan.
