You probably will have to pay her one half of the settlement that you recieve, however, you should have your dissolution and the settlement reviewed by a family law attorney to make sure that you are not giving her too much. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
Re: enhancement settlements
The answer likely depends on when you earned that overtime--if it or a part of it was earned before your separation, that amount is likely community property and she'd be entitled to a 1/2 community share of that amount, if any.
