In plain language
- The supplementary pension (second pillar) built up during a marriage or legal cohabitation will automatically be divided into two equal shares upon separation.
- This applies to married couples and legal cohabitants who separate, unless they explicitly opted out beforehand in their marital or cohabitation agreement.
- As a partner, you become entitled to half of the supplementary pension rights built up during your relationship, offering better financial protection if you worked less to care for your family.
