Re: family law

The answer to this depends on whether you were married when he earned the retirement and purchased the property in storage.

If all or a portion of the retirment income is community property, the divorce court can issue an order mandating that a portion of the retirement money be paid to you.

Same with the property in storage. If it is community property, the court can order a sale or a distribution of a portion of it to you.
