Divorced parents pension query.


12-Feb-2025 (In Family Law)
My parents have been divorced for 25yrs. None of them opted for a 2nd marriage & we both children have been co existing with both of them & there has been no complications ever since but my father who has been a retired state government school teacher has expired on Jan 21 this year. I saw a few regulations where it says my mother still can be the successor of my fathers pension since my mother or father none married since their divorce. So can she receive the pension? What is the criteria?

pension? When a couple gets divorced their pensions are usually included in the financial settlement along with property and other assets. Without a 'consent' or court order confirming the settlement, both parties can make a claim on their former partner's pension, regardless of how long they've been divorced. while drawing attention towards Rule 50(j) of Central Civil Servants (Pension Rules), 2021 (hereinafter referred as Pension Rules) submitted that divorced wife also came within the definition of family..

See it totally depends on the University and its regulations. There are certain universities which provide pension to unmarried daughters and divorced daughters also if they are not earning anything. So it totally depends upon the rules and regulations.
