Currently wading through the tail end of a messy divorce. Military member with 26 years served, still serving.
Divorce agreement is being written up and ex-spouse's lawyer insists that my military pension shall be split 50% since inception even though we did not marry or live together until 4 years after I joined. Why should she benefit from the 4 years we were not together ?
My lawyer is telling me that it is considered the same as a house...if I owned a house for 4 years before I married and then we were together for 20 years and divorced, the house is now 50% hers.
Any advice in here from those already through the mill?
