Your attorney may be able to subpoena the documents or do a Freedom of Information Act Request. My office is well-experienced in these matters and provides free consultation.

This is pretty basic discovery stuff. The information is required on normal court financial disclosures, and can always be obtained by subpoena. But dealing with military retirement is extremely technical, and you should make sure that whoever you have working on it knows EXACTLY what they are doing, or you could be severely short-changed.

If you have not yet filed for divorce, there is nothing you can do to obtain more information without his consent and cooperation. If and when you file for divorce, the Colo rules of procedure require him to provide you copies of all relevant information concerning all financial matters, including his military retired pay, without even being asked. If he fails to do so, the court can find him in contempt. To clarify the situation, a copy of his W-2 alone will not provide you all the information needed to deal with military retired pay issues.

Whether or not he is already retired, you should start with the branch of the service. You will be directed to the appropriate department. It is a very easy thing to obtain such information, particularly via Deposition Subpoena, if the two of you have already filed for divorce.

You will find out all about it as part of the Discovery process once the divorce starts. Speak to your attorney about it. Good luck.

In a action for divorce, like other civil actions, the parties have the benefit of court rules which require that each party respond to any reasonable request for the productions of documents or records. Hire an attorney. Your question indicates that you do not have a lawyer and intend to handle your divorce yourself. Representing yourself in an action for divorce, where there are substantial financial assets could be extremely costly for you.

Write to the military. However, I doubt if they will tell you just because you ask without a court subpoena .

You probably will not. Your domestic relations attorney will have some ideas. If you are working with a military pension, you have a complicated enough situation to warrant a lawyer.
