No, it is assumed that one spouse will care for the other during illness or troubled times. That is the basis of the "sickness or in health..for richer or poorer" that is included in the traditional wedding vows. Even if one did actually take such vows, the presumption is still morally and legally valid. YES YOU CAN MY MOM TAKES CARE OF MY DAD AND GETS PAID FOR IT BUT ITS NOT THAT MUCH, AND I DONT THINK THATS RIGHT AND I THINK MY MOM IS WRONG FOR DOING THAT CUZ IF YOU REALLY LUV SOMEONE THE MONEY SHOULDNT MATTER!
You can draw half of your spouse's entitlement if you wait to retire when you reach full retirement age (65 for people born before 1943; 66 for those born between 1943 and 1954) if your spouse is also retired.
Social security payments for the husband stopped upon his death. If the child is under 22 (?) and is still in school, there may be payments due to the child.

No, you would not be responsible for your husband's alimony payments to his ex-wife if he can't pay. Your income is not considered a factor in payments. Depending on the agreement, your husband may modify the alimony payments in court if he can show proof he is unable to pay.
Usually the nursing home uses the social security income as payment for services. Possibly you could have your social security payments (if you are at least 62) based on her income levels. You should plan to either work or find another means of income.
In the US, of course not.
social security comes from the govt not from your husband
That means that if your husband predeceases you then the annuity payments would go to you as the survivor.
