Good Morning,
I work in the federal government and have been contributing to my pension since I started here back in 2003. When my ex and I started the separation process I paid an independent actuary about $500 to prepare a pension valuation. Now my ex's lawyer is demanding pension dating back to when my ex and I started living together back in January 2000. The problem here is that I worked in a private company and never contributed towards a pension.
Is this just the case of a lawyer who may be misinformed or can he actually try to collect money from a pension that didn't exist those years?
Also, my ex collected a pension for the last year we were together yet her and her lawyer seem to ignore our requests for her to have pension valued. Her lawyer acts like it is a ridiculous claim to make but my point of view is why should I be giving her half of one of my years when she was contributing to her own pension that year.
Thanks
