I am still married to my husband but haven't seen any of his retirement checks, am I entitled to those?

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
While in Texas that is assumed to be community property, the law does not mandate how married people spend or distribute their money.

Will the state give his ex-wife half of the part time pension or only the pension that is named on the QDRO, which is his current full time job?

Robert Jensen 'Bob' Matlock
Answered by attorney Robert Jensen 'Bob' Matlock (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Mackoy, Hernandez, Jones and Woods LLP
The parties and plan administrator are to abide by the terms of the QDRO. If you are concerned about the language of the orders, I suggest you hire a lawyer.

Is it true that in my divorce decree it states I’m entitled to half of my husband’s retirement if I do not remarry?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Eric Allen Maskell (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Eric A. Maskell
If the original divorce decree stated that you were entitled to half of the retirement unless you remarried. And you remarried for a period of 2 1/2 years then it would seem under basic contract law that you are no longer entitled to half the retirement.
