Legal Question in Family Law in California

Retirement benifits

My wife and I have been married for 33 years. We are in the process of a divorce. She's getting ready to retire. My question is, do I have any rights to a percentage of her retirement? If so, what would the percentage be in California?

Re: Retirement benifits

It is based upon a formula which takes into consideration the length of marriage. However it requires a Qualified Domestic Relations Order in which the employer is joined in the litigation. It is an area of law in which many attorneys are not experienced in and has the highest percentage of mal-practice. Therefore please have an attorney experienced in obtaining QDROs like myself assist you. Contact me diretly.
