Are you just talking about social security retirement? My ex and I were married 17 years and for 10 of those years he had in his name a life insurance policy that is whole life, he lied and said it was only a life insurance policy and had no value, I tried to tell my attorney that he was lying but he wouldn't listen. It will be worth a lot of money in about 15 years (if he hasn't cashed out on it yet). Does anyone know if I am entitled to that?
