AM I entitled to any of my husbands pension

[ahvintage]

I am 66 and my husband had worked for the company for over 25 years and we have been married for 20 years. the company he worked for just closed and he his about to collect a huge pension. He told me that I will not see any money from his pension and I was wondering if I was entitle to any and if so can I file a claim to what i am entitled to.

I thank you in advance for your help.

Absolutely Chaffinch. We do have a few very knowledgeable people in the law section, but even they will advise seeing a solicitor as no one case is the same.

Ahhh, is it over?

It would help if ahvintage could give some idea as to where the relationship stands. Are you divorced, divorcing or happily married and you just want to share his pension money?

[ahvintage]

currently married, but don't share the same bedroom. He has does not share anything with anyone, including his food, movies and so on. He keeps all his DVD'S packed away in a box and logged them in a book just incase one is missing. Everything in the home came out of my own pocket including the food he eats.

[ummmm]

Have you been to a solicitor yet?

[redcrx]

agree with ummm, a solicitor is the way forward if you are looking to divorce, unless you can agree settlements yourselves.

Stop feeding him.

[ummmm]

So what does he pay for if everything comes out of your pocket?

Doc - because Jaydah was giving stupid answers and we were disagreeing with her. Although nothing abusive it wouldn't have made the greatest of reads to the OP...

My sister was divorced after 27 years of marriage, I don't know the details of the settlement (I never asked) but I do know that when her ex qualified to draw his pension from British Coal she recieved 50% as she showed me the paper work

jaydah was divorced from here, it appears. Without 50% of the takings
