After 35 years of marriage I am now considering getting divorced. I am 57 years of age my wife is 62. In 2013 I was told I could never work again and received my lump sum and my ill health pension. At the same time my wife chose to take her early retirement and triggered her pension that equates to approximately 25% of my monthly pension . I used my lump sum to pay of our mortgage and other debts including credit cards and car loans. With the remainder of the lump sum we put that in ISA’s of equal value in our own names.
So to summarise we have no debts are mortgage free and individual savings of the same value.
If I am no longer able to go back to work following my doctors advice and pension administrators decision.
Will I have to now pay my wife a proportion of my monthly pension. I believe she should return to work. If I was fit enough I wouldn’t hesitate to.
Thanks for reading
