Re: divorce

You have important property rights arising from the marriage which you should raise as part of the divorce. For example, the portion of his pension that accrued since you were married is subject to being divided between you by the divorce judge. Any property that you acquired during your marriage may also be split up.

You should immediately seek a consultation with an experienced family attorney who can more specifically explain your rights to you, and who can help you protect those rights in the divorce action and get you what you're entitled to.
