Re: divorce, NYC pension and remarraige

Assuming that your settlement agreement and QDRO are properly drafted, your remarriage will have no effect on the division of the pension. However, if either is not properly written, there can be problems, up to and including loss of that interest.

At minimum you should have both documents reviewed by an attorney experienced in matrimonial cases.
