You spend your whole career carefully planning for the day when you don’t need to have a career anymore. Then, suddenly, separation throws everything into question.
- Will I still be able to retire at the age I hoped?
- Do I have to share my teacher, nursing or government sector pension with my spouse?
- How is that done? What about my RRSPs and LIRAs?
- What if I’m already retired and my pension is “in pay”?
We’ll walk you through how family law views the valuation and sharing of pension entitlements. We’ll explain alternatives to sharing pension entitlements. We’ll give you strategies for rebuilding pensions affected by separation and we’ll pair you up with professionals who can help you revise your retirement planning to account for life after separation.
