Marriage Breakdown

Issue

Across Canada, provinces differ in their treatment of pensions on marriage breakdown.  Further, the rules in any given province are not always clear or workable.

Action to Date

The ACPM’s Advocacy and Government Relations Committee (AGRC) has discussed this issue in the context of the Model Pension Law.
 
More recently, the ACPM’s Ontario Regional Council responded to the Ontario government’s proposal to change the law relating to pension entitlement on marriage breakdown.

Future Action

This is a prime issue for national harmonization with the Model Law initiative.
