Legal Question in Employment Law in Connecticut
Pension
Husband left job after several years. worker's comp issues, company wanted to get rid him. He seems to have alot of money now, could he have possibly taken his pension in a lump sum (even though he has to be 59 1/2 to get it)? Did the Company buy him out and if I divorce him is it still considered his pension and can I still be intitled to half?

Re: Pension
As you correctly noted a pension is deemed property for purposes of equitable distribution in a divorce. However, in light of the difficult legal and valuation issues that arise in this area I would advise that you consult an attorney.
