Re: seperated spouse claim on pensionMy wife and I lived toge
If you live in California, your wife will have a community property interest in your pension calcuated as the years you were married divided by the total years of the pension. There may be additional issues relating to distribution. Additionally, you should have an interest in her penion as well.

The other attorney is correct.
Another idea is that you may want to check the beneficiaries you've designated on things like that pension, your life insurance, and so forth. You may also want to draft a new Will.
