Re: Entitlement to workman comp settlement
Hello. Yes. In my opinion the workman's comp.
settlement constitutes marital property. You would be entitled to 1/2 the value. However, if
you have a pension, he could get 1/2 of the value
of your pension. There are a lot of issues to
consider. Will be happy to answer any additional
questions you may have.
