Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Re: Distribution of a 3/4 disability pension during divorce

In the context of matrimonial actions {divorce} and equitable distribution of assets, spouses certainly do have certain rights / claims to "shares" of pensions. The calculations for determining the dollars & cents value of those rights / claims can be very complicated.

You would be well advised to inquire of your local bar association as to whether there is a referral program available &, if so, you would be wise to have a consultation with an attorney well-versed in those issues / calculations.

Put otherwise: stated most generally & broadly, the answer to your question is YES; you ought to learn more about just how much that 'yes' may be worth.

Good Luck.

Regards, etc.,
