I do not know if you know this but, if you were married to him for at least 10 years while he was an active member of the military you are entitled to half.  This needs to be stated during the divorce.  If it never was talked about then you need to get an attorney and discuss if you are eligible.  If you waved the right to his retirement during your divorce you will never get it the decision is final and non-reversible.  Your divorce attorney can tell you if he is receiving his retirement pay if you are in titled to it.  If not sorry bout your luck, he does not have to tell you unless you take him back to court to increase child support or alimony.

No, absolutely not. The entitled to 1/2 rule applies only to married couples and surprisingly enough it only applies after you've been married 10 yrs. Of course people married less than 10 years can still have battles over entitlement to property especially if they've acquired a lot during the course of a marriage or had children. As far as an unmarried couple though, neither of you is entitled to half of anything. You leave the relationship with what you went into it with.

if he divorces you? or you divorce him\nhe will pay child support for each child until they reach 18, then they are considered adult and are no longer require to recieved money from the father\nyou are entitled to spousal support for 1 day for every 2 days married ( if you are maarried 10 years for example you get 5 years spousal support ), in some states once you get to 10 years it spousal support until you remarry.\nmost states are no fault states, meaning either party can file for divorce with no fault given for the divorce, but since you have children you can contest the divorce, he or you cannot file for an uncontested divorce if you have children or the marriage was over 5 years and you have any assests. google divorce laws ( then your state ) to see what laws apply to you\nabove all if he does nothing do SOMETHING\nyou can file legal seperation\nand you can then file for divorce ( or file for divorce 1st  and skip legal sepration )\n\nIt's a shame that he runs out on a good Filipina women as those are some of the best women in the world and you are correct about lilttle to no divorce rates, why he is running out of you unfortunately shows his lack of respect for the good Filipina women / culture and for himself and marriage in general. Good luck on what ever your decison.

Not likely....you were only married for a year and you came into the marraige with these things.  Get a good lawyer and you should be fine.  Find a flat rate divorce attorney....it will cost you more up front, (and possible  a little more in the end) but you won't get nickel and dimed with every phone call, email, and paper that needs written/filed.  Good luck....and it really does gt better!

each state is different, but if he is making a lot more money than you spousal maintenance should be awarded for a period of time...you get half of all assets and half of all bills in most states and if you have been married over a certain number of years you are entitled to half of his retirement...an attorney would need to go into more detail with the exact laws of your state.

Following are the eligibility requirements for divorced spouse's benefits:\n\nDIVORCED SPOUSE: A person who is divorced after at least 10 years of marriage may qualify for benefits on the former spouse's Social Security record. To receive benefits as a divorced spouse, the person must be at least age 62 and his/her former spouse must be entitled to retirement or disability benefits. To receive benefits as a surviving divorced spouse, the person must be at least age 60, or at least age 50 and disabled. \nINDEPENDENTLY DIVORCED SPOUSE: Independently divorced spouse's benefits may be payable based on a former spouse's Social Security record if the former spouse is eligible for retirement benefits but has not applied for them. The person applying as an independently entitled divorced spouse must be at least age 62. The divorced wife or husband also must have been married to the former spouse for at least 10 years and divorced from the worker for at least 2 years. \n\nREMARRIAGE\n\nBenefits cannot be paid to a person applying as a worker's divorced spouse if the person has remarried, unless the latter marriage ends (whether by death, divorce, or annulment). Benefits for an entitled divorced spouse are terminated upon remarriage unless the marriage is to a person entitled to certain types of Social Security auxiliary or survivor's benefits. Benefits can be paid to a person applying as a surviving divorced spouse who has remarried if:\n\n--He/she remarries at age 60 or later; or\n--He/she remarries at age 50 and after becoming disabled.\n\n(If a person is already entitled to benefits as an aged or disabled surviving divorced spouse and remarries, benefits continue regardless of the person's age at the time of remarriage.)\n\n\nA divorced spouse or surviving divorced spouse who is entitled to benefits other than those on their former spouse's record cannot receive both benefits in full. For example, if a divorced spouse worked under Social Security and is entitled to higher benefits based on their own earnings, they would receive benefits based on their record only. Also, the benefits paid to a divorced spouse will have no effect on the benefit amount paid to other beneficiaries on the record.\n\nNOTE: The provisions for a divorced spouse's or surviving divorced spouse's eligibility to Social Security benefits are set forth by Congress and contained in the Social Security Act and Regulations.\n\nIf you would like to receive an estimate of benefits you may receive as a divorced spouse or surviving divorced spouse, you may contact our representatives at our toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213. They may be able to provide you with this information over the telephone. If you prefer, you may visit one of our offices. You can get the address and directions to your nearest office from the Social Security Office Locator that is available on the Internet at: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/locator/

It will be listed in the QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order). Typically, if your ex-wife had no retirement assets of her own, the QDRO would require you to transfer one half of your accumulated retirement assets to her. this percentage is not written in stone and your QDRO could be different. If by "retirement benefits" you are referring to a pension or other defined benefit type plan, the QDRO will also spell out how that would be treated. If your divorce is complete your attorney should be able to help you decipher the QDRO.\n\nAlso, child support payments are only made as long as the child is a minor, unless some other circumstance (i.e. a special needs child) causes the judge to alter the norm.

i would think that would depend largely on if she is able to get out and get a job herself. if she is able to then she probably won't get half your pay for life. just up untill the end of the divorce.

In the UK you can file for your own divorce with the courts and do not have to use a lawyer. Ive been through divorce twice, it was a costly business I agree. Not planning on doing it again with my 3rd husband :) Good luck hope you can work something out.

Since I don't know where you live I can only tell you what goes on here in the states.  First of all you should have made it a point to know all about the finances during your marraige.  YOU put yourself in the position of not knowing now and there really isn't much you can do about it since you don't know if he has any other accounts in his name or not.  All that you might be able to do is have your lawyer do a "discovery" on his finances (hopefully you know your estranged husband's social security number, if you don't then you're pretty much stuck).  Secondly most states no longer grant spousal support.  Of course they do grant child support but that is for the CHILDREN not for the ex spouse so your "allowance" will end, and you'll have to get a job.  If you live here in the states I suggest you stat looking for one.  Go to yur local county office and see what they can do for you.  If you don't live in the states I can't help you, because I can only give you advice based on U.S. divorce/custody laws.

Yes she is! The lady in question is entitled to a share in everything. All monies,even pensions will be taken into account. It would be in her best interest to insist on going to mediation. If no agreement can be reached,then the courts decide for her.At the mediation,ALL monies will have to be revealed. She MUST make sure,she knows of everything her husband has/will get,and she must stick to her guns!!If she insists on mediation,things will get sorted out quicker,she will also learn  more. Whist attending mediation,her husband will realise he cannot get away,or insist that she only gets so much. IF, the husband is involved with another party,and that party works,those wages will also be taken into account.\nThe Citizens Advice will be able to offer her much needed advice on the legalities of separation/divorce. They will be able to guide her to a solicitor who specifically deals with this. It is a free service.

Any organisation offering finance will check your marital status as insurance to get their money back. You are a lower risk to them if you are married.

DEPENDS ON YOUR DIVORCE DECREE. MAKE SURE YOU READ IT THROUGHLY.

It depends a lot on what state your in but, in some states no it wont as long as your not on any of them, yet in some states it will because marital property is also debts, my best advice is call a lawyer and ask them.

YES!  Get a lawyer, and probably a prenupt.\n\nIn most states, only the parents income is considered for child support, not that of a new spouse.  \n\nHowever, you could very well end up with some of his debts and his financial issues coming on you, and you may want to protect your house from his ex.\n\nConsult a lawyer, and go from there.\nGood luck!
