Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Re: marriage, divorce,

Very, very generally, the way it works is that when a person divorces another they get a final settlement. This includes retirement. The retirement is figured using calculations to determine the present value of the retirement and it is settled at that time. For example, if you work at a company and you are to get retirement at age 65 and you divorce at 45, the present value of the retirement is figured at age 45 and distributed at that time to both parties along with all the other property. This is the way it should be done. But, the rule is that the parties are entitled to an "equitable distribution" of marital property, which may or may not include retirement. This distribution is based on many, many factors. This is way too complicated to discuss in this format. You would need a book.

Re: marriage, divorce,

If your divorce happens in Florida, the quick answer is yes, you get half of the retirement that was earned during the marriage, and remarriage is irrelevant.

Question one: Maybe, maybe not depending on facts you have not posted.

Question two: Maybe, maybe not depending on the language of the decree.
