[QUOTE="OTE, post: 5227"] Unfortunately, yes, they do expect the new spouse to support them. Remember that it's a matter of degrees. Suppose the new spouse was Malcolm Forbes. Should the gov't be paying Forbe's wife "Federal welfare?" Wouldn't we all be appalled? So, yes, the new spouse's assets that exist today come into the rules re "resources" and income. In terms of getting rid of those assets before the marriage I don't know. There are definitely rules about disposing of assets in contemplation of welfare, medicaid, SSI. There's a "look back" test at a minimum. I also forgot to mention that there are rules about common law marriage. If there are a lot of assets involved they need to see a lawyer. [/QUOTE]
