Military Ten Year Myth

Military Ten Year Myth

If you clicked on this link, it means you have a question about the ten-year myth. One of the most callous tricks we've heard is when a husband tries to tell his wife you're not entitled to any of my military pension because we haven't been married for ten years. That's just not true. The truth of the matter is you may be entitled to a portion of your husband's military retirement regardless of how long you've been married. What the ten-year rule means is that the United States Government will pay a military spouse directly her share of the marital portion of his retirement if they've been married for more than ten years of his active-duty service. So just because you may have only been married five years, six years, seven years, doesn't mean you're not entitled to a portion of your husband's retirement. It just means that the United States Government will not pay you directly and that your husband, your now ex-husband, will have to pay you directly.
