Hello All and I hope you are well. some background I was medically retired from National Guard in 2014 100% DOD and 100%VA. I am currently 44 YO. going through a divorce and STBX want her 32% of my Retirement amount I am currently waiving for VA. I do not qualify for CRDP until I'm 60. I thought the DOD disability retirement pay was protected just like the VA is from being divided in a divorce but I cant find anything to support it. I agreed to not take any actions when I turn 60 and start getting CRDP to lower her portion but now they are trying to use that against me.
I guess my first question is, what I get from DOD is Disability Retirement and not regular retirement, correct?
Is DOD medical retirement protected from division like VA is?
Where can I find documents to support this.
I have worn out Google looking for this and now I'm turning to the experts.
Thank you
