My question involves a marriage in the state of: California
Some background info: All children are well over 18 so no child support is necessary. My father suffered a stroke in 2001 and is not in good health and unable to work. My mom is the one working and covering the bills/expenses. House is paid off already. My parents will still be living together after this divorce.
My father is going to lose his Medicare coverage in May as long because the government considers her monthly income to be too high. She is not allowed to make more than $2000 a month or have more than $200 in savings, which is absolutely insane because property tax alone is about $2000 per half year and she has to pay all of that up front. This may seem like we're trying to game the system, but my mom has actually been taking FEWER shifts at her job in fear of making too much, which puts her in danger of losing her job altogether. The government is making no sense here because without coverage, the Medicare premium will be several thousand dollars a MONTH, which is way more than my mother can cover. All my mom wants to be able to do is to work whenever she wants and save some money for the next 2-3 years (she turns 65 in three years and will probably be forced to retire). If my father signs up for Medicare as a single male, he will qualify for full coverage because he has no income. I have a few questions about the divorce process to find the easiest for my mom to file an uncontested divorce (to which my father has agreed to file an uncontested response):
1. If my mother states that she will pay $0 of support to my father, will the court reject her divorce? If so, what is the lowest amount (or percentage of mom's income) of monetary support that is deemed acceptable by California court?
2. Is there a "foolproof" reason for divorce (other than hatred, infidelity, etc.)? What is the specific way to phrase it?
3. Will my father be deemed ineligible to be fully covered under Medicare if he receives monetary support from my mother?
4. Will the court accept for a child to provide support for my father (my older sister can help support if necessary)?
5. Are there any other specific pitfalls to look out for when going through this process?
Thank you for your help!
