Legal Question in Insurance Law in Michigan

Re: Insurance won't give me my money

Guess what ... if I'm not mistaken, that's the law,

and the same goes for your husband! That is, he can't

get at his part until he retires or leaves the job, either.

It's kida fair: if you'd stayed married, you'd have been

no better off in this regard, and the idea for the auunity

is to hold onto something for the future, not to be able

to spend it all now.

There are companies that will give you lump sums in exchange

for you signing over the annuity stream to them, if it's legal

for you to do so, but you'd probably be lucky to get $3,000 if

you did that.

It's also fair because he probably didn't put anywhere near $10,000 in and

that might be the amount they cite as what they're giving back when

he retires; perhaps it needs time to grow. But I'm just shooting from the hip.

Real advice will come from an attorney in your own state.
