2: If you do nothing, your former partner will automatically lose out

Pension and divorce: avoid unpleasant surprises

You will need to inform our fund of the situation to ensure that the divided pension can be paid out directly to your former partner. Let us know what agreements you have made with your former partner within 2 years of your divorce (using the form in Min Pensioencijfers). Have 2 years already passed? If so, you are still obliged to pay part of the pension accrued during the marriage to your former partner. Your former partner retains this right. The only difference is that you have to pay it monthly to your partner yourself. We know from experience that this can be complicated, and may sometimes calls for the intervention of lawyers or bailiffs.
