What is the legal definition of divorce?
Divorce, or “dissolution of marriage,” is the legal termination of the marital relationship. The divorce process is handled by family law attorneys (each estranged spouse retains his or her own counsel) and involves a number of issues, ranging from division of property to child custody.
Will I lose my survivor benefits if I remarry?

Will I lose my husbands pension if I remarry?
If a woman decides to remarry, her entitlement to a widow’s pension lapses at the end of the month following the new marriage. If a widower decides to remarry, he is no longer entitled to a surviving spouse’s pension either, although in this case, the orphan’s pensions continue just as for a widow.
