She DID remarry, her first DH did NOT She collected his SS and also from 2nd DH when they divorced...BUT the 2nd DH's FIRST wife died, before my friend married 2nd hubby

maybe some states are Different but don't think so

You cannot collect SS off 2 different accounts. Your friend is fibbing.

If you are divorced, you may be eligible for Social Security retirement benefits based on your former spouse’s work record if all of the following are true:

• You are 62 or older.
• Your marriage lasted at least ten years.
• You are not married.
• Your former spouse is entitled to Social Security retirement or disability benefits.
• The benefit you would get based on your own work is less than the benefit you would receive based on your former spouse's work record.

Basically, and just guessing as to what I would do, I would let go of the baby and let the father (my ex) have full custody. That's if my egg(s) weren't used. He would have to pay for all of the services regarding the procedures, birth, etc. though. That's what I'm thinking right now.

Yes, that sounds like the logical thing to do....IF Sal is not asking for child support.

Since no one knows the real story behind this it's impossible to say who is at fault and why it's happening. Since he filed maybe she is the one who did something. It said he's asking for the pre nup to be voided because of some type of fraud on her part.

I agree. We don't know what went wrong in that relationship. Usually both parties have some responsibility when a marriage fails.

I'm thinking that old Sal does't really want full custody of the surrogate baby. He's asking that because he wants to use it as a bargaining chip to get something else. How old is he anyway? Somehow I can't see sometime in his age category wanting to raise a child at this point in his life, unless he's got another mama waiting in the wings. I also don't know what kind of money he makes on his own, but I think he sees dollar signs in the future when the divorce is settled.

You are right as far as the SS benefits. I am collecting my ex husbands SS and we had been married 12 years, divorced 30 at the time of his death. His was more than mine. I was not married at the age of 62 or would not have received it. Also he was married and we both collected. All his x wives would have if he had more. He never paid child support or alimony, so he ended paying anyway in the end. Karma is a bit___h. You can only collect one SS Check, not two.

NO WAY will she give up this new child. She's already lost one previously, as she unfortunately miscarried Jeffrey's fraternal twin - a little girl I think - when she was pregnant with them.

And then had to deal with Jeffrey's very-premature birth, something that caused his learning differences.

I adore her and her incredibly-good heart, and really hope that her strong faith - and support from family and close friends - will help her and Jeffrey get through whatever awaits them.

This weekend Sherri S was on a local talk show, Talk Stoop. It was obviously recorded fairly recently. They said she was a mother and wife and showed pictures of Sherri, Sal and her son.

Did I miss...is the baby the surrogate is carrying... his sperm and most importantly...HER eggs?

Saw Sherry on the view today, her eyes looked like they have shed many tears since this news has come out. Can't blame her either she has a lot to lose in this marriage. Really who wants to go to work all the hours and travel to different sights and in the back of your mind you are thinking you might have to support another man again. I like Sherry and I hope she comes out on top of this.

although this week is really all about barbara, i did think that sherri was relatively subdued today.....and she is usually lively during the entire show.
