Divorce, Annulment, and Separation

If a participant is divorced, the courts often consider the participant’s pension benefit an appropriate issue for the couple’s divorce.

If you get a divorce, annulment or separation from you spouse, the allocation of your pension benefit will be subject to the applicable provincial family law.
If your ex-spouse is entitled to any portion of your benefit in accordance with the applicable provincial family law, the benefit to which you or your current spouse or beneficiary is entitled will be adjusted accordingly.
