I (the father) have just returned from my case conference where my ex was granted 1,500 monthly in support from me.
I have the kids and live in the house until it is sold and she was not ordered to pay CS.
She has a cash job cleaning houses at $25 hr but says that she is penniless with little to no work and the judge ordered her to look for more clients (she stopped advertising in our local free ads right after she made her court proceedings in Dec, 10). She claims she only works 8 hrs per week= $200, $850 per month.
During the case conference her lawyer went after my pension, which I am in the position to retire on since I have worked there for 31 years and it was a condition of employment to belong to the pension plan, like it or not. The contributions to the plan are shared 50/50 with employer.
We are not married and have lived together for 25 years, she has not contributed to the pension plan, and has worked sporadically over the relationship since the kids were born in 1996 and 1998.
I need to know, and it seems really muddy, if she has a claim to the pension. Her lawyer asked the judge to investigate the pension plan for conditions and the judge told him to verify the pension. I am not sure what exactly he is to investigate and verify because I could not hear exactly what happened ( I have limited hearing capability).
Under what conditions would she be entitled to my pension? It does not fall under the Federal Pension plan (government service etc.)
