[quote=Anonymous]Yeah I mean - retirement accounts are individual accounts, by design. IRA = Individual Retirement Account. It's literally in the name. Sure, when people get divorced, assets that are titled in their individual names are often divided up as common property -- but that only happens in divorce. During a marriage people are still individual human beings, with individual rights same as anyone else. It was entirely within the husband's discretion how much he would contribute to his retirement account, just like it was in the wife's discretion how much she would contribute to hers. Maybe she contributed more to her retirement account; maybe he paid more of the daily living expenses. Who knows? What we do know is that the soon-to-be-ex wife is aggrieved and dismayed realizing that she won't be getting as much $ as she was hoping for. And she literally is asking what the "recourse" is as if someone has wrong her.[/quote]
