my divorce decree states we agreed that I would receive 50% of 15yrs of my ex-spouses retirement. He just retired and I was told that when he passes I will no longer receive the retirement. If my divorce decree says differently than what was worded in the qudro is there a chance of amending it. Because why would I agree to only having the retirement while he was alive. It is well documented in the court hearing that he was a severe alcoholic and it would catch up to him. I was looking for lifetime. It seems useless to have it until he passes which at the rate he drinks won't take long.
