What else can you do if you had done everything to save your marriage quit or divorce?
It takes the two spouses to want to save a marriage and if both spouses have not seen a marriage counselor then they have not tried everything. If the one spouse does not want to see a marriage counselor or goes because they are forced this will not save the marriage. If the marriage is getting worse perhaps go for a separation before a divorce because often absence makes the heart grow fonder. If it does nothing then that is the time for a divorce.

Am i entitled to my wife's retirement?
It depends on the state you live in, how long you were married and if she had the retirement before you got married. Generally speaking, what you bring into a marriage, you take out. If your wife had a retirement plan before you married, the value of that plan at the time you were married belongs to her. During the course of the marriage, contributions to the plan and growth in the value of the plan might be subject to distribution, depending on the laws of your state. You may have a right to a percentage of the increase in value of her retirement account (only) during the time you were married. You are probably not entitled to a share in the total value of the account. And you shouldn't be.

What is a prenumpt?
A prenuptial agreement is a contract signed before marriage specifying particular matters about the marriage or in preparation for the marriage to break up. It may specify how property is divided in a divorce, specify where the couple will live, or how much spousal support will be paid. In general they are used when one person in the marriage feels that they have assets that they wish to protect in the event that the marriage fails. It's a contract signed before a marriage, and it determines who will get what in case of an divorce. Withiout a prenuptial agreement a divorce settlement can go to the court instead, which can turn out nasty for the one of the spouses that had most money before they married.
