Re: already divorsed

His retirement is a marital asset and should have been allocated in the divorce. Whether you can now raise that issue depends upon the language included in your Divorce Decree. Without knowing more, it's not possible to give you a "yes" or "no" answer.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
