Am I eligible for my husband's pension?

Robert Jensen 'Bob' Matlock
Answered by attorney Robert Jensen 'Bob' Matlock (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Mackoy, Hernandez, Jones and Woods LLP
There are too many variables to give you a definite answer to your question. You should take the following steps: 1) read the decree concerning the division of property, if the order allocated a portion of the pension to you, then you should be entitled to that part of the pension, 2) if the decree awarded all of the pension to him, you are not entitled to any of it, 3) if there is no mention of the pension or retirement benefits in the decree, you may or may not be entitled to it based upon when and how the benefits were acquired, 4) contact the plan administrator to ask if you were named as the beneficiary of the plan or the plan provided for survivor benefits or whether some distribution of the benefits has already been made. I suggest you hire a lawyer.

How can I find out if my second marriage was legal?

Answered by attorney Robert E McCall (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Robert E. McCall
Check with the Clerk of Courts for the county where the divorce was filed, they can give exact dates when things happened.

Can I still get a divorce without my wife's signature?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Vincent D Sowerby (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Vincent D. Sowerby
If signatures were required from a spouse in order to get divorced, then that would give one spouse dominion over the other in perpetuity. Slavery was outlawed, so no. This is no different than forcing someone to a trial who denies any wrongdoing.
