Re: Retirement Funds
Retirement benefits including the employer's contribution, which are earned during the time you were married are community property and subject to division by the court. The portion of the retirement benefits that were earned either prior to the marriage or after the date of separation would generally be separate property.
To determine whether your retirement is community property you need to discuss your case with an attorney.
