Most states, however, do not. In all states, however, the law allows the present value of the pension to be used as a set-off or trade against other property that the nonmilitary spouse will receive. Thus the retired pay might be traded against the marital residence if the values of each were roughly equal. If none of the above conditions apply, then that state's courts cannot divide retired pay. In addition to this, the Act says that no more than half of the pension can, under most circumstances, be divided.
Many states presume an equal division of all marital property, including retirement rights.
Other than this, there is no way of telling how much marital property will be awarded or how much of the pension will be granted to you. Payments cannot be made to your estate, survivors or heirs. The court can order a spouse to provide SBP coverage for the non-service spouse. There are certain exceptions in the event of multiple court orders involving other spouses. Ask your legal assistance attorney about these exceptions.
