Re: Divorce/postal pension
That depends upon what your judgment says. If it says half of her pension you got cheated. It should say half of the community interest in your pension, which would be half of the pension that was earned during the time that you were married and any accumulation on that portion. Then there is a question of whether you have a TSP. In any event you should have an order prepared dividing the pension so that her share is paid directly to her and your share of hers is paid directly to you. See an attorney on this to make sure that this is done correctly. A mistake could cost you a lot of money. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
