Under Washington Law you more than likely would have a claim to a portion of your husband's marriage that was paid in during the time of your marriage.

If the terms of your divorce did not deal with the pension plan, it is probably too late to do so. If the divorce is not yet completed, you are probably entitled to claim part of portion of the pension that was earned during the marriage. You need to discuss the situation with a lawyer in the state where you live in order to understand what your options and reasonable expectations are.

You are entitled to one-half of a portion of the pension. If he worked for Ford for 20 years and you were married for 10, you get one half of one half through the date of the divorce. I suggest you call the Idaho State Bar and ask for a referral so you can work out the numbers correctly.
