Can an ex spouse refuse to pension rights to his wife in a divorce proceeding?
HiCustomer/p>
I take it you mean can a spouse refuse to split his pension rights with his wife on divorce? The simple answer is no but as usual it is not always as simple as that in reality. Pensions are generally classed as matrimonial property and as such should be actuarially valued and included in the assets to be split. In practice what normally happens is that the value is usually offset against other property and a total value is obtained that is then paid but the pension MUST be included in the calculation.
