Will I lose my ex-husband’s pension if he remarries?
Divorce in South Africa can have serious financial consequences, notably in terms of pension payments. Women who receive a share of their ex-husband’s pension as part of their divorce settlement frequently wonder whether they will lose it if he remarries.
In South Africa, the general rule is that remarriage does not automatically terminate a person’s right to receive a portion of their ex-spouse’s pension. This means that if you are receiving a portion of your ex-husband’s pension as part of your divorce settlement, his remarriage will not necessarily affect your right to receive those benefits.
The Role of the Divorce Order
However, the terms of the divorce order can play a significant role in determining whether remarriage will affect your right to receive a portion of your ex-husband’s pension. If the divorce order specifically states that your right to receive a portion of your ex-husband’s pension will terminate in the event of his remarriage, then you may lose your right to those benefits.
