10 years

Probably at least half of the marital assets.
You can start taking out retirement money penalty-free at age 59 and a half. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, such as early retirement or special circumstances like disability, that may allow you to access funds earlier.
At her full retirement age your wife is entitled to an amount equal to half of what you are entitled to receive at your full retirement age. (If you're not the same age that full retirement age may not be the same age in years for both of you as it rises from 65 to 68 in the years to come) Benefits your wife receives neither increase nor decrease your retirement benefit from social security. What she gets doesn't change what you get. Your benefit is increased by the delayed retirement credit of 8%/year for each year you delay taking benefits after your full retirement age until age 70, but your wife's available retirement benefit does not change. (Neither of you should delay starting Medicare since that usually incurs a penalty.)

yes No...not by default -you might have been married 10 years, but spent 9 of those years overseas, living away from your spouse working a $400,000 per annum job, while your spouse taught grade school for $34,000 per year and kept the kids. Do you think you'd get awarded 50% of a school teacher's pension in this case? Slim chance! ..Such is a very often misconception when dealing with the military especially. People think that just because you've been married 10 years that a spouse (usually the wife) *automatically* gets 50% of the man's retirement. This is furthest from the truth. What is true is that once married 10 years, the spouse (usually the wife) qualifies to have her court ordered portion of the retirement check (if anything) sent directly to HER... verses relying on her former husband to give up her share monthly as ordered by the court. You can be married 20 years, and the court award you nothing out of your spouse's retirement. It totally depends on the contributing factors of the divorce, details of the marriage, etc. You can be married 15 years and the court award you only 5% of your spouse's retirement. *Remember... just because you're "eligible" for something, doesn't meant that you'll get it awarded to you automatically in court.
That's between the two of you. your entitled to at least half of everything.
If you meet the requirements of common law, you will have to file a divorce alleging first the marriage (including the date of marriage). If it is found to be a valid marriage, you have the same rights and responsibilities as any spouse.
