Allport, J.
In a second amended complaint Patricia D. Shaver seeks a declaratory judgment determining her to be entitled to a propor tionate share of the retirement benefits being received by Clark Edward Shaver under the pension system for firemen and policemen of the City of Los Angeles administered by the board of pension commissioners of said city. It is alleged that Patricia and Clark were married on August 30, 1947, and, after approximately 20 years the marriage was dissolved on September 26, 1967, and a final judgment entered on November 29 of that year, that Clark became a city fireman on November 2, 1948, serving in that capacity for 28 years and 103 days or until February 13, 1977, at which time he retired entitled to receive the pension; that the judgment of divorce disposed of all community assets except the pension benefits of which no mention was made. Plaintiff also alleges that Clark has been receiving all the monthly pension benefits since February 13, 1977, in an unknown amount without her consent. Patricia seeks a declaration of her rights and appropriate orders assuring payment of the share to which she is now found to be entitled.
