My ex-husband is a cop. When can I get my part of his pension?
Updated Apr 14, 2021;
Q. I divorced 20 years ago. The divorce agreement said I would get half of my husband’s pension earned during the 13 years we were married. I moved out-of-state. How do I find out how much I should get? I don’t even know if he retired yet. He’s a police officer in New Jersey.

A. There are several things to consider here.
The pension system for police officers in New Jersey is the Police and Firemen’s Retirement System, known as the PFRS.
