How is FERS divided in divorce?
A court order can apportion or divide a CSRS or FERS benefit as a result of a divorce, legal separation, or annulment of marriage. The court order must expressly direct OPM to pay a portion of the monthly CSRS or FERS benefits. Payments to a former spouse from a retiree’s annuity end with the retiree’s death.
Is FL A 50/50 divorce state?

What is a wife entitled to in a divorce in Florida?
Florida operates under the laws of “equitable distribution,” which essentially means property acquired during the marriage belongs to the spouse who earned it, and during a divorce all assets and liabilities are to be divided between the spouses in a fair and equitable manner.
How does adultery affect divorce in Florida?
As Florida is a no-fault divorce state, neither spouse is legally required to prove that their partner did anything wrong to be eligible to separate. In that sense, adultery has no impact on your actual ability to get divorced. However, this does not mean that adultery is completely irrelevant to your divorce case.
