Hello.  If your husband was in the Local 174 pension when you got married and has been in it the entire time, then there is no reason why you wouldn't get 50% of the marital portion - meaning 50% of the benefit accrued during the marriage.     I draft and enter QDROs, so if you need my help, let me know - I'm at 815-714-2900.
