If the spouse of a federal employee is a retired federal employee but took out her TSP and placed in a diversified portfolio, can she keep her spouses's TSP in the TSP?

I am under the FERS system and divorced. At this time in my life I actually want my ex-spouse to receive my benefits to help raise our children. I currently have 20 years of service. Would my ex-spouse be entitled to a full survivor annunity?

I had a feeling that the life partner will get the life insurance, TSP, annual leave, credit hour, and comp time, but not the health insurance and survivor benefit since the latter part require a marriage certificate. That is if the life partner is designated in one's Official Personnel Folder (OPF).

If you are under FERS, your domestic partner who is joint-owner, joint-contributor, joint-debtor of everything you own, who will continue raising the children, sending them to college, running the household, farm, etc. will receive a lump of coal.
Notice that gay and lesbian employees and families are not mentioned in the article because we do not exist -- just like in Iran.

I do not live in an alimony state; if one partner is the birth mother, the other adopts so that both are legal parents and liable for child support; because things such as real property, bank accounts, automobiles, mutual fund accounts, etc. are usually jointly owned, a split-up can involve lawyers -- but possibly be less costly because of less drama and hostility.

What happens if I was a single employee for most of my working years and much later in life decide to get married. How can I alter my spouse entitlement to full annuity? I think my benefitiaries should come before someone I have only been married to for a few years.

If I do not have a surviving spouse, what happens to my CSRS contributions? What about the government's share contributed for me?
