A woman gets a percentage of the pension depending on how long she was married to whim while he was employed in the position he retired from. If she was married to you the entire time you worked where you draw a pension from then, yes she is entitled to half of that pension.

Not automatically because there can be other circumstances that may impact the situation. Generally the rule of thumb is that she is entitled to half of everything that was acquired during the marriage.

it's a minimum of 50 percent if you have been married for 10 years or longer

Usually it's a third. Pensoins and stock plans are ALWAYS sold in thirds no matter what state you're in.
