They do when they started at 18 and work every bit of overtime they can. That was all before she met him. The few years before he retired after 35 years in, he was the guy that filled in for the top guy in the city whenever that guy went on vacation, so he was making a good amount, and his retirement pay is almost $300k a year, not including all the benefits, just pay.

I'm sure if you put in a few years and get out you probably don't make much without overtime, but if you stick with it until retirement age and play the politics game you can make a lot.

Was the retirement split in the divorce? I could see it being considered community property if they earned it while they were married.

They are still going through that right now, and yes, that's a HUGE point of contention with him. He thinks she shouldn't get any of it, and that she should just sign it away because he doesn't want her to have it. Of course, my sister is a teacher (not retired yet) so eventually her retirement will likely have to be split with him in return, but it isn't going to be as much by a large margin.

If it's similar to military retirement, yeah she'll get half if she was with him for more than a few years. It's treated like an asset for court, yet taxed like income for everything else. Yay.

I've been told Military disability is untouchable by exes though. Had an uncle who went to the VA to get disability so his ex couldn't get his military retirement anymore.

Took my truck to one of those drive in car wash places today, the guy that leads you in wasn't even looking at me, waving me in as he was paying attention to someone else. Then he just stops all together. I roll my window down and ask him 'what's going on' and the guy sticks his hand up like I'm bothering him. I then told him not to hand wave me motherfucker I'm paying for this, have your own conversation on your time.
