Divorce

The legal end point of a marriage. A divorce of an employee can affect that person's benefits. The ex-spouse has rights to retirement benefits accrued during the time of the marriage. The ex-spouse also may apply for health benefits under COBRA. If there are children, then there are payments for child support, which may be enforced through garnishment.
