You do not need to divorce. The home is protected as is a spousal resource amount and a monthly income. You might want to use the Find a Lawyer function of the website of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys to find an elder lawyer near you who can give advice based on the specifics of your situation. www.naela.org

This is general information. It cannot substitute for a personal consultation with an attorney. It is not intended to be legal advice or imply an attorney-client relationship.
