How many years married before a spouse is entitled to pension in Ohio?

Not enough information is given in order to answer. Entitled to the spouse's pension under what circumstances? Death? Divorce? Sham marriage? Common-law marriage? Not only is more information needed, all pension benefits are going to be different depending on the type of pension it is (e.g.: union pension - private employer pension - government pension - military pension?) You should probably consult with legal counsel over this question as it can get quite complicated depending on the circumstances, just a few of which are enumerated above.


Can a forgotten pension plan be paid to ex spouse after divorce?

In my case, the pension plan was started in January and my husband divorced his first wife in May of the same year. I happened upon this pension plan after my husband's death. I thought for sure the ex-wife would get it. However, there was wording that asked who he lived with for the 12 months preceding his death. In this case, it was me, the widowed wife. Therefore I am entitled to these benefits.
