Question:
I divorced from my ex husband over 15 yrs ago, in bad terms. Unsure if he has retired. I was told at divorced that I will qualify for a % of his pension since we were married over 10yrs while in service. What do I need to do or who do I need to contact to find out if he has retired and if I do qualify for a % of his pension? We divorced on bad terms and have no contact. Please help. Have been calling all different dpts of DFAS and nothing so far.

You need to return to the family court that has jurisdiction of your divorce and seek a modification to increase your divorce settlement. This is routine and the court will contact him to notify him of your actions. He must respond or he may be in contempt of court. This is the only route you can take to determine if he owes you more money. Until you do this, nobody can help you.
