If a judge retires pursuant to Section 75033 or 75033.5 and there has been a community property benefit awarded to the judge’s ex-spouse pursuant to Article 2.5 (commencing with Section 75050), the retirement allowance percentage payable to the judge shall be calculated at the rate specified in Section 75033 or 75033.5 less the percentage factor awarded to the ex-spouse. In no instance, regardless of the total number of years of credited service in the Judges’ Retirement System, shall the retirement allowance percentage awarded the judge, when combined with the percentage awarded the ex-spouse, exceed the maximum amount allowable under the pertinent section under which the judge retired.
