How much of my retirement will my ex wife get?
If you’re getting Social Security retirement benefits, some members of your family may also qualify to receive benefits on your record. If they qualify, your ex-spouse, spouse, or child may receive a monthly payment of up to one-half of your retirement benefit amount.
Can I claim on my ex husband’s pension?
When a couple gets divorced their pensions are usually included in the financial settlement along with property and other assets. Without a ‘consent’ or court order confirming the settlement, both parties can make a claim on their former partner’s pension, regardless of how long they’ve been divorced.
Can my ex wife go after my retirement?
You can apply for your ex-spouse’s Social Security at retirement age if you’ve been married 10 years or more. You’ll be entitled to either your ex-spouse’s or your own benefit, whichever is greater, but you may not claim your ex-spouse’s benefits if you’re remarried at retirement age.
