You need to consult with an attorney who can review your divorce decree and explain your options, if any. When a divorce decree is entered, it generally terminates any claims the parties have against each other forever. If the husband's pension was in existence at the time of the divorce it was up to the wife to seek rights in it at that time. If it was in existence then there was some sort of internal "paperwork" in existence with the plan's administrator. The wife's attorney should have requested the records regarding the pension during the divorce proceedings.

The timing of when an ex-wife can receive a pension from her ex-husband's company after the husband dies depends on the specific terms of the pension plan and any court orders related to the divorce settlement. Generally, if the ex-wife is named as a beneficiary in the pension plan or if the divorce settlement includes provisions for her to receive a portion of the pension, she may be entitled to receive it after the husband's death. It is important to review the pension plan documents and consult with a legal professional for guidance in this situation.
My ex-husband is entitled to 50% of my salaried Inland pension as part of our divorce settlement. In Michigan (can't comment on other states) the claim is a QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order). If your divorce decree includes it, have your attorney contact the pension department of the surviving company, Arcelor-Mittal (?) Once it's completed, you in effect become another retiree receiving a pension from Inland based on whatever percentage of your ex's pension your divorce decree states. My QDROs on his pension were completed within a year of the divorce. My ex still hasn't finished the paperwork on my, so I just figure I'll get half of my Inland pension. Hope this helps & good luck!
Only if awarded it. And he yours.
Nope, you may get alimony, but you are not entitled to his pension after divorce.
YOUR pension?! That would be a big fat NO!
Depends on when the other person earned the pension, how long you were married and what state you live in.
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.
No he is no longer allowed to collect it after the divorce.
I do not have specific application forms for widows' pensions. You would need to contact your local government office, social security office, or relevant pension authority to inquire about the necessary paperwork and application process for a widow's pension.
If it hasn't been dictated as part of the divorce settlement, then no.
The time it takes to collect your pension from UTC can vary based on individual circumstances. It typically takes several weeks to a few months to process a pension payout after all required paperwork is submitted and reviewed by the pension administrator. It's best to contact UTC's pension department for specific details on your situation.
He can get a divorce with or without her cooperation if he wants one. Check your state's laws, Most states now have "no fault" divorce policies which means it doesn't matter what his wife did or didn't do, he can still divorce her. She may be entitled to a portion of his pension depending on the length of the marriage and state laws.
