German pension after divorce – special questions 9

German pension after divorce – special questions 9

We have already described that spouses have to share the pension rights after the divorce, if one of them has acquired a pension in Germany during the marriage . It is irrelevant where the divorce took place and according to which foreign law (not German law).

What if my „ex“ refuses to cooperate?

Not very advisable for him. The court will force him to do so, finally by imposing fines – which might become expensive for him. And it is never good to annoy judges, nowhere in the world. 

We will check, if you have a claim in Germany towards the pension rights of your ex-spouse. And if we come to the result that you have a claim, we will enforce that for you before the German courts.

Thus we can probably considerably improve your old age benefits, maybe even secure your old age through a guaranteed pension from Germany. 

If you think you might have a claim, you can contact us here. We are happy to assist you in getting what is yours in Germany.
