If it hasn't been dictated as part of the divorce settlement, then no.
Depends on the specifics of the divorce settlement.
Widows of presidents are entitled to $20,000 per year in pension.
Yes
She is entitled to 50% of the portion of your Pension of the years you were married. For example, If you had a Pension fund for 7 years, prior to your marriage, then married for 11 years, she is entitled only to 50% of the portion of the Pension you acquired during the 11 years you were married, and not the 7 years of the Pension, prior to your marriage.
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.
Most likely. But you are entitled to 50 percent of hers as well.
yes, but it depends on the husband to see how much she gets.
I am not sure what your talking about but let me try to answer this. If the wife divorced the man before he died then no she would not be entitled to his pension. It does not matter if she remarried or not.
Technically it's military "retirement pay," not a pension. Check this out for an example of the complexities (albeit in New York): http://www.divorcenet.com/states/new_york/military_divorce_and_pensions
If the pension is through a company (not social security), then depending on the divorce agreement, the wife may be entitled to have a share. Alternatively, another piece of the couple's common monies become the offset to the wife. However, you both should know whether the pension has survivor components and will continue after your death.
If it is a defined pension plan where you get a monthly amount no. But the spouse is entitled to half of it or more when the prinary person of the plan dies. Unless they signed offon the pension survivor benefits.
You need to check their original divorce decree. The first wife may indeed have a right to a portion of her ex-husband's pension.
Unless she was awarded some of the ex-husbands pension in the divorce decree, she can't. If she was awarded access to a percentage of his pension, she should contact the company for whom he worked - and eventually she should be preprared to supply the pension administrator with a copy of the court order which states in what amount she has a claim on the ex's funds.
