My spouse had a higher income for a lot of the marriage and unless I am wrong, I can use her numbers to collect SS at the proper time at 1/2 her rate since the marriage was over 10 years?... If I stay unmarried that is. Say I wanted to know what that number would be right now, compared to my own; do I call the SS administration, email them for a request? Do I have to wait until I am of retirement age to find out, how about proper documentation?... Anyone ever do this, and can help with the details. Thank you.
