Subject: Life styles is a great site for getting questions answered. Here's mine....inside

Am an ex-spouse of a Naval Officer. *Divorced in 2001, and receive a portion of his retirement each month. Also,the Survivors' Benefits were kept in my name -- its written into the divorce decree. Since the premiums are deducted from ex-spouse's retirement, I reimburse a percentage (*determined by the attorneys based on his active duty years in service while we were married ((10+ years active duty of 25-year marriage))) of the premiums back to him via direct deposit. Recently, a friend mentioned that her husband (also retired Navy) will be turning 70 on his next b'day and he'll no longer have to pay the SB premiums. Just wondering if anyone can tell me, what, if anyting, I have to do to keep the SB in my name -- probably going to have to go back to the attorney (and I don't like him). As an aside, he remarried; I haven't.

[> [> I did lose any and all military benefits with the divorce; thus, me having to pay a share of the SB insurance payments. Had to sell my house to myself because the VA loan wouldn't allow me to touch the equity. And, Cece, you are NOT those things you have called yourself. Who knows, maybe we'll all learn something from this....... -- carramor, 19:05:22 05/28/11 Sat [1]

[> [> mj, remember a while back you very kindly and throughly explained my diagnosis of reflux and GERD, giving me an ulcer? Well, that information was much more informative than anything else I had been told or read. Hope my lawyer is as helpful/knowledgeable! -- carramor, 19:11:56 05/28/11 Sat [1]
