They have been married 30 years, during which time he acumulated this retirement fund in his job. In a divorce settlement would she have the rights to some part of his retirement benefit? -- Ward Answer: Ward: Pensions are marital property, to the extent they were earned during the marriage, and can be divided between the spouses by the divorce court. ------------------------------------------------------------
Now - you can own the famed Tribecca (by Calvin Hill) 4001 Designer
Briefcase for just a fraction of its intended selling price. This wonderfully
rich-looking "portable office" is so roomy & well made, it can only
be made by the Tribecca leather company. Remarkably supple manmade leather
is so extraordinarily strong it will last a lifetime! Loads of extra pockets
& storage
------------------------------------------------------------ Question: My Final Hearing was held and my husband lied on the stand about his pension plan. He said the value was $3,500 - has worked for the Federal Government for 14 years - I believe he "forgot" several zero's in his calculalions. We have not signed the Final Judgement yet. Can I ask the courts to verify the value of his pension prior to signing? -- Debbie Answer: Debbie: You'll have to do more than ask. The court is passive. It relies on the parties to present evidence. There is still time for your lawyer to file a motion to reopen the hearing, but you need to have proof and you need to act fast. ------------------------------------------------------------
Now you can own all the hit songs from CATS, Evita, Phantom
------------------------------------------------------------ Question: How do I get out of this crummy marriage? -- Mary Answer: Mary: Through a difficult and expensive process called divorce. Avoid it if possible. But sometimes you have no choice, either because your spouse wants a divorce, or because you made a mistake and need to correct it to have a better life. ------------------------------------------------------------
