First of all I want to point out that people don't realize but when you ask questions they don't go to the establishment they come to guides on Google maps. With that being said I am not attorney however I do know quite a bit about family law. California is a shared property state which basically means that you guys share what was obtained during the marriage. Ultimately the person who decides who gets what is usually between both attorneys parties if no attorneys than both parties need to reach a agreement. Which should be notarized and submitted with your paperwork. In the end it's the judge that has the final approval. I don't believe that ssa is considered shared property but I'm not 100 percent sure. If you don't have a attorney i strongly suggest getting to gbla for representation as divorce proceedings can get ugly at times.
You should give them a call. They're really great. That way you can get the correct answer to your question.
