JR | Monday, August 27, 2007 | 11:29 AMMy Maryland ex is to benefit from any future annual increases typically effective in January, despite the fact I don't plan on retiring for another 5-7 years, and we have been divorced since 1998.
What's the logic behind that? I don't argue that she is entitled to increases FOR THE YEARS WE WERE MARRIED -- seems to be a fairly easy computation for a smart guy with a computer -- but to be enriched for the years when we weren't married and in the future??? Come on.
