Question:
I was married for 22 years, then he divorced me. Am I entitled to VA support or pension? He remarried, but passed away after 2 years
Jim's Reply:
You're entitled to whatever the divorce decree stipulated during his life. What happens after that will depend on factors that will differ in every situation. It sounds very much like you and he severed all ties and that significant time has passed since the demise of your marriage and his passing. Considering all of that I can't see where there are any benefits awaiting you. If you have any doubts, you should consult with a veterans law attorney
