Since they were married, a friend of mine has made twice as much as her husband.
She has paid all the mortgage payments on two properties as well as any home purchases and improvements.
She has finally separated due to years of emotional abuse.
Now, here’s the hard question. Her total pension has been estimated in seven figures, of which her husband will be entitled to half. This will wipe out all her savings and deferred retirement accounts.
I know what the law is, and it was meant to protect women who were not actively in the work force. But for her to be financially wiped out seems so unfair.
Is there a way for her to protect some of her retirement pension from her husband?
