Obtaining Information from the Federal Government

The book details information on requesting information from the federal government in connection with obtaining a divorce. For example, one little known fact is that certain Thrift Savings Plan account information is available to spouses without the need for a subpoena. The book discusses access to employee information as it relates to informal Touhy requests, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Requests, Subpoenas, and Earnings Withholding Orders. The Freedom of Information Act or FOIA, establishes the public's right to information contained in Government records.  Most Federal Employees have an Official Personnel Folder (OPF) subject to OPM record keeping requirements. This book will explain step by step how to obtain this information.
