What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
OK...the saga continues. I keep asking for a divorce. I want to keep my family home that my alcoholic/porn-addicted husband refuses to maintain in any way at all other than paying the bills. He says I cannot make it without him...but I WILL FIND A WAY. I want him out. He threatened that if he did leave, he'd quit his job and I'd never see a penny from him again. I said "fine. go." He hasn't. Kids are grown...marriage is almost 29 yrs long...he has a union pension that he is now eligible to receive if he retires(30 yrs), but is working a few more years to make the monthly bigger...I work PT and have a part-time pension that I won't be able to collect for about 15 more years....but it will be small. I make about half of what he does but I have excellent benefits and do not want to leave job for FT, so I could work a second job if I had to. I was a stayhome Mom for many years so I wasn't able to establish a FT career as we both felt it was important for me to be home with the children(hence the PT as well). Am I still entitled to 1/2 his pension even tho I have a future teeny one of my own? And how are those kinds of things awarded?? I KNOW he's not going to voluntarily hand over half his pension. He swears he isn't going to give me a cent. What am I entitled to from him? I know I could win an at-fault divorce filing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
