pension and divorce

[Fmfred425]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York. I am a fireman that has an accidental 3/4 disability pension and also get SS disability. I have a permanent disability will never work again. I am 52 years old and have been married for 29 years. My wife wants a divorce. I was put out of FDNY with 19 years. All my children are grown. She is a trained hairdresser for which I paid for her schooling. My question is what parts of my pension and SS is she entitled to. My wife has worked for the past 15 years off the books mahing good money, The last couple of years she has worked less and less for no reason. She now hoes to work 1 1/2 days a week by her choice. Is there something I should be doing to prove any thing. She is the one that wants out of the marriage, but wants me to leave the house that I just spent a ton of money on. I also inherited a home from my parents a few years back. It is in my name only

Your wife wants a divorce.

You need a lawyer.
