Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
Am I entitled to any of my ex-husbands retirement? We were divorced in 1998 after 11 years of marriage and I cannot find anything in my final divorce decree regarding retirement.

Well, then, you may have waived your right to claim a portion of his retirement
if you can't find any reference to it in the final decree. However, to be certain,
I would suggest that you arrange for a consultation with a local attorney
who is knowledgeable and experienced in Virginia divorce matters and who
should be able to advise you as to where you may stand in regard to this issue
from a legal perspective.
