Divorce Retirement Benefits Pennsylvania

Summary

In Pennsylvania, marital property, including retirement benefits accrued during the marriage, is divided equitably. If youve been married twice to the same person, benefits accumulated during both marriages could be considered marital property. The period of divorce might not be included in the calculation. You may be entitled to a portion of the retirement benefits, but not necessarily half. Consult with a local family law attorney for specific advice.
