Hello,
I legally separated in September 2011, and I joined the pension plan at my work in April 2012. I'm still separated and I was separated at the time I joined the pension plan.
I've filed the divorce papers and been to trial for custody and equalization issues. I didn't realize I would have any issues with my pension until today. There was no pension per se at the time of separation. Any amounts in my pension plan at work today were accumulated after separation.
Does my ex have an entitlement to my pension upon my retirement?
If she does, how can we make arrangements for her to "opt out" of the entitlement?
She had a pension at her employer on the date we separated. I've never seen a statement or signed any papers saying that I would opt out, and I would have no issue doing so as I believe that that's her money at retirement, although I doubt that she will see my pension under the same light...
Any advice?
Thanks
