First of all, there are no divorce laws that favor the woman or the man.

I think the rule for military retirement pensions is if you've been married over 10 years you get a portion of it.

Thanks for the replies. iladyja, is your ex intitled in your retirement also? Just trying to figure out if I could get my ex's funds just like she could get mine.

I'm from a 50/50 state and they 1/2 everything...........so my pension is a lot less than his so they take mine and minus it from his and then 1/2 of that is what they would give me.
