Note#1

Marital fraction: 60%

12 of your 20 service years overlapped with marriage. The marital fraction determines what portion of your pension is considered marital property for division.

Note#2

You retain 70% of disposable pay

You keep $2,240/month after the division. Consider whether this is sufficient for your retirement needs and whether supplemental income sources are needed.

Note#3

Lifetime division: $688,136

Over 37 years with 2.5% COLA, your ex-spouse would receive approximately $688,136 total. You would retain approximately $1,605,646 over the same period.

Watch#4

10/10 Rule applies: DFAS direct payments

With 12 years of marriage overlapping service (10+ years), DFAS can pay your ex-spouse directly from your retired pay. Without 10 years of overlap, the member would be responsible for making payments directly.
