| 1 | Anyone gone through this with a pension?You should absolutely go after a share of her business. All's fair in love and war, and there's no better description of a divorce. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/05/26 03:31 PM |
| 1 | Anyone gone through this with a pension?It varies on the type of QDRO and the way the benefit is defined in the pension plan. If the pension benefit is final average pay then it's less likely to have a "today" present value that you can split (since the final benefit will be based on pay many years in the future). But if you CAN get the benefit to be determined and split on this basis, it's a HUGE win since they'll have to do the calculation based on current pay instead of your future pay, which will presumably be much higher. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/05/26 03:30 PM |
| 1 | Anyone gone through this with a pension?Yes, definitely make her check on her benefits and get written benefit statements from her work. She could very well have benefits that she doesn't know about/fully understand that you could be entitled to a portion of. She may suddenly become much less interested in trying to take yours if she learns that she'll have to give up some of hers.

| 1 | Anyone gone through this with a pension?You'd think this is true, but very few people have a decent understanding of pensions and their value. QDROs are typically poorly written (by people who are supposed to be professionals) and can leave significant money on the table. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/05/26 03:23 PM |
| 3 | Anyone gone through this with a pension?Generally a QDRO is going to award your ex-wife 50% of your final pension, adjusted for the amount of time that you were married and earning the pension compared to your total service. If you were working at your current job for the entire marriage (say 10 years for easy math) and then you work another 25 years there, she will most likely be awarded [50% x 10 (years of marriage) / 35 total years of service] of the final value you would get at normal retirement. This would work out to roughly 15%… | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/05/26 03:21 PM |
