Program Summary

This webinar will discuss dividing military pensions in divorce, highlighting changes to the law in recent years including the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) modifications to the manner of calculating division of military pensions in divorce; as well as DFAS’ new Blended Retirement System (BRS) effective 12/31/2018 that means many service members may have some combination of pension and Thrift Savings Plan that must be divided. Participants will gain an understanding of calculation methods for dividing military pensions, how to word an order for this division, and what the non-member spouse can expect to receive versus what is not permitted. In addition, survivor and other benefits will be discussed.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Drafting a Military Retired Pay Division Order
  • Calculating the “High-3”
  • What Non-Military Spouses are Entitled to Under the Law
  • Addition of the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) to the Mix
