WHAT CAN I DO TO GET MY EX HUSBANDS TOTAL VESTED RETIREMENT AMOUNT

Zoe Ann Meigs
Answered by attorney Zoe Ann Meigs (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Office of Zoe Meigs, P.C.
Handling a QDRO without an attorney is a risky business, but I do understand your frustration. You may want to hire an attorney to complete the QDRO and the processing of it through the court and then the retirement plan. My initial question is why do you need his most recent statment?  You may use a percentage in the QDRO if that is what it states in your decree.  You do not need to state the current value of the account in most QDROs.  The company will know the value of the account as of the date of divorce, which is when most divorce decrees and QDROs include as the valuation date for dividing the QDRO. Assuming you have a form for the QDRO and have it completed, then you need to file a Motion with the court to enter a post-divorce order to divide the retirment.  You will need to have your ex-husband served with the Motion and proposed QDRO.  Altenatively, if he will cooperate, you may present him with a Waiver of Service for the Motion and have him sign that.   His lawyer will need to sign the QDRO before you present it to the court to sign.

How long do I have to be married to my husband to receive military retirement pay?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Willie Stephen Graves (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Graves Law Firm
Technically, at two years you've been married to your military husband long enough under Texas law to be entitled to a small portion of his military retired pay. However, until you've been married to him for ten years, the military finance center will not pay you directly. After two years of marriage you will be entitled to an award of roughly 5% of his monthly disposable net 20-year retired pay at his current grade, if, as and when he actually retires and receives it. You will be entitled to no medical or other dependent benefits after the divorce. In Texas you are not likely to get more than temporary spousal support (while a divorce case is pending) because you've been married for too short a time. It may be in your financial interest to stay married as long as possible.

Can I bring my new wife without consequence, and then, after I arrive back home, continue to attempt to locate my estranged mate?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James F. Lentz (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at James F. Lentz Attorney & Counselor at Law
I don't know if there is a risk. Does the country in which you were married permit more than one wife at a time? You never mentioned a divorce from wife number one. It sounds like you need two lawyers: one for the country in which you were married time number 2 and one for the state in which you reside now.
