Respectfully request advice as newly divorced dad

Hopefully she doesn't know she can get some of your retirement...

That always concerned me if it's true. I never asked an attorney.

The way it works here is, Yes, but! Only entitled for the years married, not the total amount after the divorce.

Married 3 years, entitled to 3 years worth of the retirement for her life. Work 30 years, she gets a percentage. 3/30.
