It depends on the legal terms of their divorce - if the divorce agreement specifically entitles the ex-spouse to the member's pension (percentage determined by the agreement), then yes, she is entitled. However, without such terms in the divorce or other separate legal agreement, the former spouse has no claim on the member's pension.
For example, a good friend of mine was married to an abusive husband for many years, and part of her divorce settlement gives her half of his retirement - since he's an FBI agent, that'll keep her set pretty well.
It's important to remember that marriage is a legally binding contract as well as a relationship, and when that contract is dissolved, so too are any legal claims the two partners have against each other unless they are a part of the divorce agreement.
No.
Former spouses have no right to their former spouse's pension. Claiming such would be fraud.Added: If you are referring to a Canadian GOVERNMENT pension, you may wish to contact the agency for which he worked.It may not be the same - but in the US, if an ex-wife qualifies she can receive a percentage of her ex-husbands pension equal to the numbers of years they were married while he worked for the government. You should REALLY check this possibility with an attorney skilled in that area of law practice.
my understanding their is nothing you can do if the ex wife name is on the retirement.however if the the deceased was in a relationship and a child was born from that then the child can claim from his pension.
I am not sure what your talking about but let me try to answer this. If the wife divorced the man before he died then no she would not be entitled to his pension. It does not matter if she remarried or not.
