Re: divorce & retirement monies
His pension is subject to Equitable Distribution of NYS. From the time he started the job til the commencement of the divorce action would be subject to distribution. What percentage you would be entitled will be determined based on several factors. You can contact me for a consultation at www.traceyabloodsaw.com
