I am a retired Navy veteran. My current spouse cheated on me. I can prove it. Is she entitled to my retirement benefits? Married for 22 years.

Bradley Roger Gammell
Answered by attorney Bradley Roger Gammell (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Gammell & Associates
Short answer:  Probably, yes.   Whatever retirement was earned by either party during the marriage is subject to division by the judge at divorce.   This means that the retirement you earned prior to the marriage is your separate property and the retirement earned during the marriage is community property.  Also, any retirement your spouse earned during the marriage is also subject to division as community property.  Generally speaking, if you were married for 10 years while you were on active duty, she would be awarded 25% of your disposable retired pay.   If you have waived part of your retired pay (for example to receive VA disability pay), she would not be entitled to a share of the VA disability.  Fault in the breakup of the marriage is one basis by which the court can award a disproportionate share of the community property to the wronged party.

Can I still get a divorce without my wife's signature?

Divorce lawyer at Vincent D. Sowerby
If signatures were required from a spouse in order to get divorced, then that would give one spouse dominion over the other in perpetuity. Slavery was outlawed, so no. This is no different than forcing someone to a trial who denies any wrongdoing.

Am I entitled to the IRA money during a divorce if it was opened prior to the marriage?

Annette M Cox Sandoval
Answered by attorney Annette M Cox Sandoval (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Cox Sandoval Law, PLLC
It appears that if you made absolutely no contributions during the marriage and you can show that the IRA contributions were solely made prior to marriage, then that IRA would be considered your sole and separate property. It does not get factored into the division of property during a divorce.
