In the state of Arizona that gets the retirement during a divorce? If my husband cashed in his retirement from a job where he has worked in our marriage before the age of retirement, I am entiteled to him at all?
If he received, it is not retirement, it is "active". All assets are taken into consideration for the division during a divorce, regardless of their source of origin.
It will be because he worked for it, you only get the money you earned
You need to see a good lawyer who specializes in family law. My best guess would be that you are entitled to a portion of his earnings - anyway - during your marriage. But only a good local lawyer can advise you accurately - and protect your interests, for example, ensuring that your husband does not find a way to "hide" assets during the divorce proceedings. Whatever the cost, a lawyer should be well worth the money and you can even get your husband to pay a portion of these costs and, depending on the circumstances involved here. Good luck!
OK if I live in Arizona, if he cashed his retirement and received a lump sum before the divorce, you should receive half of what remained of it. If a pension plan and obtains an annuity while its revenues. You have your share of support. You also want to be sure and get his 401K too. Half of it is yours.
