Question: Is there anyway to stop my wife from getting half of my 401K and pension?
Question: My ex-wife of over 21 years is seeking part of my retirement pension--even though at the time of our divorce I was not yet vested in the company plan. We were married for 8 1/2 years, 8 of them with me working at this chemical company--it took 10 years at that time to become vested in the plan. Now she is seeking "her" part of my retirement, all these years later. Can this be possible? Answer: Allow me to preface my answer to your question with the disclaimer that I am not licensed to practice law in the state of Louisiana. In my jurisdiction, you can seek to modify property division years later. Was she awarded any portion in your divorce? I suggest you verify that she was not awared any interest. Otherwise, it should be too late for her to go back to the Court and request a share. |
