Government Executive Staff Correspondent Alyssa Rosenberg takes a look at news affecting the management and operations of the massive federal bureaucracy.
My 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.
