What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MD
My husband who is retiring wants to take his pension as a lump sum per advice from a financial planner who will then re-invest it under my husband's name. I have to sign and have notarized a form allowing this which makes me nervous, marriage isn't all that stable. If I include the statement: "by signing this form I do not relinquish any of my spousal rights to this pension amount," will I be covered in the event of a divorce?
