Can ex wife claim my pension years after divorce?

After the divorce is over, your spouse will not have the ability to come back and try to get more of your pension plan for herself.

A final decree of divorce is the court’s formal order granting a termination of a marriage. If the case goes to trial and the judge issues a judgment, the judgment is confirmed when the decree is signed and dated by the judge and court clerk.

How long after trial is divorce final?

Can I divorce my husband without his consent?

Applying for a divorce can be a difficult decision to make, especially if you’re not sure your partner will sign your petition.
