Dear vsrrtp:
Greetings. You are entitled to half of all of the retirement and pension your husband acquired during the marriage. Be careful though, as retirement benefits are generally only divisible by a document attorneys call a QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order). You will need an attorney to assist you if there are retirement benefits available.
