QUESTION: My husband and I are both retired law enforcement officers. His retirement is twice as much as mine. He is entitled to Social Security at age 62. Am I entitled to any of his retirement?
MY RESPONSE:
Assuming that you and your husband are getting a divorce, each of you is entitled to his/her respective 1/2 community share of the other party's retirement pay/funds.
Retirement funds earned during the marriage comprise the community share, but retirement funds earned prior to marriage or after separation are separate property, i.e., those portions of the retirement account are not part of the community share.
