How many years of marriage to be entitled for pension?

J Matthew Catchick
Answered by attorney J Matthew Catchick (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Catchick Law, P.C.
The general rule in Michigan is that a spouse is entitled to 50% of the other's benefits that accrued during the course of their marriage. However, the document required to divide a Pension, called a "QDRO" ("Qualified Domestic Relations Order"), usually costs at least $400 - $500 to prepare, so whether you should actually seek your 50% share of your spouse's pension at least partially depends on the length of the marriage. For an extremely short-term marriage (1 -2 years), it may not be "worth it" to pay for and go through the QDRO process.

Does the divorce papers and affidavit of service expire?

Divorce lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
I have no idea exactly what you are talking about..Generally the person filing a divorce, files the papers in court and pays the fee upon filing, then he/she serves it... the defendant is not required to pay a fee to answer. if it was never filed.. it really does not expire.. except the circumstances/facts may change if nothing has changed.. change the dates and pay the required fees to file it and serve it.

If I am paying alimony and my ex remarries, do I have to file with the court to stop payment or is it automatic?

That depends on the law of the state where the alimony order was issued. In Colorado, spousal maintenance stops upon remarriage but you need to get a new court order confirming that the remarriage has occurred. If the support order was not issued in Colorado the law of the state where you live is probably the same, but you need to consult an attorney in that state.
