Are you going through a divorce and have questions about how military thrift saving plans are divided? As a father’s rights attorney in Tulsa, Oklahoma, I often assist clients with navigating the complexities of dividing assets such as retirement accounts. Military thrift saving plans can be divided like any other financial asset, but it requires a specific court order known as a Retirement Benefits Court Order (RBCO). This order must be filled out with the appropriate information and submitted to the thrift savings plan administrators. The division of these assets will be determined based on what is fair and equitable in your divorce case. If you have more questions, feel free to reach out.

Hello, I’m Clint Hastings, a Tulsa father’s rights attorney. In my experience, many clients want to paint the mother of their children in a negative light, listing off all the ways she falls short as a parent.
