Air Force Pensions & Retirement Benefits

If you are in the United States Air Force or in the Air Force Reserves, you should be aware of the following:

  • You have been earning retirement benefits from the day you took your oath.
  • How your pension and other benefits are affected by a divorce varies from state to state, but in Florida, assets that you have accrued while married are subject to equitable distribution under the law.

That means that if you are a service member, your pension may be significantly impacted. On the other hand, if you are the husband or wife of an active duty member of the USAF, a retiree, or an Air Force reservist, you may be entitled to a portion of his or her accumulated benefits.

Divorcing While Your Active Duty Spouse Is Deployed?

Trying to serve an active duty member of the USAF with divorce papers can be problematic if he or she is not in Florida. Additionally the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act allows for a 90-day stay on civil actions impacting members who are deployed through the Air Force and other branches of the military.
