I am in the process of an "ugly" divorce. I am disabled and receiving SSDI currently. It was taxable when I was married due to my husband's income. My "ex" will have to pay me some alimony, but I am concerned, will this alimony take away from my social security disability benefits, because is it considered "income?" Please help, as I need to know this before this is settled. I do not want to lose my social security disability, because I know he probably won't even pay the alimony anyway. Thank you!

This income will have to be reported to disability if you do get it.

If I retire, do I still be able to receive my ex husband alimony?

Try putting "alimony and reirement" into their search box.

If you are collecting SSD (Social Security Disability) it is NOT income related.
What exactly are you receiving?
