re: Getting financially screwed in divorce

I know nothing about divorce, but with community property, would you get half of her pension, too? I'm sure not close to your level, but better than nothing.

Have a friend going through this, much worse than the OP. Married his high school sweetheart. He has a government job and has the years to retire. He was in the middle of drop when she got that early 40’s itch for new d!ck. She filed for divorce. Now she wants half of his retirement for the rest of her life and is even trying to get money from his vacation leave that he built up for 20+ years.

She had a normal office job with a 401k that might have 60k in it. Think he was in line to get about 80k a year off his retirement. He’s beyond livid to say the least.
