My step father is in memory care in Florida. My mom is running out of assets to provide for him. Is it possible to get a divorce in which my step father would have no assets and the state would pick up the cost so as not to wipe out my mom's savings? Please advise:):)

That is one option, but likely unnecessary. There are a variety of medicaid-planning strategies available to protect mom's savings (and other assets if any) and get the state to pay the bulk of her long-term care costs.
I would strongly urge you to speak to an elder law attorney who focuses on medicaid planning in Florida. If you are interested in a consultation with me, please reach out: 305.931.0478 or [email protected].
Mr. Neufeld is correct. Please contact an elder law attorney who can help you out. If you are in the Jacksonville area - please contact William A. O'Leary at 904-880-5554
