State law where the divorce occurs will be controlling. Contact an attorney in that state, all states are different. Florida, for example, will give the Wife an interest. exact percentage cannot be determined now.

The pension, part of it, is a marital asset, so the answer is yes, but we need a lot more facts to answer fully and to determine how much.

In Florida, he may be entitled to part of whatever portion was acquired during the marriage. Speak with an attorney to best determine how any marital assets and debts will be divided.
