My husband was with his ex from 1980 until 1996.
They had a separation agreement in 1997, but didn't finalize the divorce until 2006. When he filed for the divorce in 2006 she was told she couldn't get any of his work pension because she waited to long to ask for it. I believe there is a 7 year rule.
Fast forward to now... he will be 62 this year and is considering collecting his CPP. We realize she can still apply for a CPP split for the years they were together if she wants to. We also think she isn't aware of this info.
What happens if he starts collecting, and a few years down the road she figures out she could be getting a portion of it? Would he have to make some kind of repayment?
