It is possible if you are living in a community property state that in the divorce papers the husband can request a partial payment of the wife's retirement. It depends on how she has the 401k or retirement savings plan and if it can be pulled out. You might want to talk to a lawyer about this question and find out how it may affect you in the state that you are currently residing in.

Depending on the state you live in. But in most cases yes. Up to the point that you were married he is also vested in your retirement fund/pension. State divorce laws and the judge is going to really decide that for you.

In most States, a marriage of ten years is considered a long term marriage and the spouse would be entitled to half of the retirement. Less than ten years, they are not.

Depends on the state, but in most cases half of what ever was earned or deposited towards retirement can be his.

It actually depends on how long the marriage lasted, and what state you are in! And if he re-married in some cases!
