It is not necessary to use a state "wild card" exemption to protect any SS benefits. All SS benefits including disability, pension and SSI are exempted under federal laws from creditor attachment.

Alimony, or spousal maintenance, is typically awarded for a fairly short time, while the spouse completes a plan for self-sufficiency.
