You’d need a super-duper lawyer to get out of that in Texas, here your retirement isn’t income, it’s a shared investment with your spouse ie. she already owns a percentage of it dependent upon how many years you were married. Of course FWIW you own part of hers too.

Heck the same thing works with Social Security if you’ve been married just ten years.

Only way out IIRC is if she legally remarries. Not much chance of that happening.


Lesson here. If she's nutz after 7 or 8 years get rid of her! Wait 10 and it's toooooo late.
