Dear mikeb:
Greetings. Did you say “her lawyer” told you something. Her attorney represents her, not you. Hire your own attorney.
Yes, you are entitled to half of the marital portion of all retirement benefits acquired by either party during the marriage. You may also be entitled to alimony as a dependent spouse. Best of luck.
