In re Marriage of Henkle

California Court of Appeal
234 Cal. Rptr. 351 (1987)

  • Written by Whitney Kamerzel , JD

Facts

Robert Henkle and Delsa Henkle were married for six years from 1969 to 1975. Robert retired in 1975 with 32 years of military service. Robert’s military retirement benefits provided Robert with 50 percent of his military salary after 20 years of military service and a maximum of 75 percent of his military salary after 30 years. Delsa argued that she was entitled to a one-half interest in six out of 32 years of the retirement benefit’s value because she was married to Robert for six years out of his 32 years of military service. The trial court awarded Delsa her requested interest in the benefits, and Robert appealed. [Ed’s note: The full facts and procedural history in this case are contained in an unpublished portion of the court’s opinion and therefore are not available.]
