It depends on the state where you married and the state where you resided. In a community property state, all property that is acquired during marriage - including retirement benefits - is community property and therefore upon legal separation, it is split 50/50..

In a common law state however, each spouse own his/her own income and property, so upon separation - what you earned is still yours.

What is a deferred vested benefit with a retirment plan?

A deferred vested benefit in a retirement plan refers to an employee's entitlement to a portion of their retirement benefits that they have earned but have not yet accessed, typically because they have left the employer before retirement age. This benefit is "vested," meaning the employee has a legal right to it, even if they are no longer employed by the company. The benefit will typically be payable at a future date, such as retirement, and is often based on the employee's years of service and salary history.

How does your wife get half of your social security?

At her full retirement age your wife is entitled to an amount equal to half of what you are entitled to receive at your full retirement age. (If you're not the same age that full retirement age may not be the same age in years for both of you as it rises from 65 to 68 in the years to come) Benefits your wife receives neither increase nor decrease your retirement benefit from social security. What she gets doesn't change what you get. Your benefit is increased by the delayed retirement credit of 8%/year for each year you delay taking benefits after your full retirement age until age 70, but your wife's available retirement benefit does not change. (Neither of you should delay starting Medicare since that usually incurs a penalty.)
