Paddaman Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Got the settlement figures yesterday. The pension was a big eina pain. Wife's eyes lit up like floodlamps.Never dreamed that such a huge amount that I have been squirreling away since age 23 would just vanish in a flash.Had my work pension + a private one so i could retire early.I will now contact a lawyer to run through the calcs and maintenance figures to see if indeed fair.Mediator did say nowadays couples exclude pensions in their ANC contracts - s$!t. Sent from my SM-G930F using TapatalkIf you still love your wife, it might be wise to insist that her share of the pension gets paid into an annuity, so that she cannot touch it until she reaches 60 or 65. In this way her foodlamp eyes will receive a hollow victory, and you can sleep comfortably knowing that she will not arrive on your or your children's door at some later stage penniless and or in debt.(a newish trend now is for women to get divorced to get a cash payout of their husband's pension fund, often to fund their new tiyboy's lifestyle) Also remember you are entitled to a portion of her stuff as well..

Gen Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 And replaced I hope!! These things are so personal that it's hard to judge people on them. Just always interesting to see what's excluded. Also what the issues are that can't be settled in a divorce. During my articles I had clients who settled millions of R's but could not agree on how to split a collection of an adult nature...Lol..no but was replaced with few bicyles .aah he loved his Vmax...it was an awesome bike.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 you cant insist on how or what she does with her "payout" assuming there is a payout of course.yep. Entirely up to her.
Paddaman Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 you cant insist on how or what she does with her "payout" assuming there is a payout of course. yep. Entirely up to her. It is unfortunate, as a pension fund is there for retirement purposes. The sad thing is when it is gone, it is gone. I pity children who have to look after parents who squandered their nest eggs.(I am not saying it is unfair on children to care for their parents during the golden years, but it is unfair if the parents willfully neglected or wasted their pension funds on the highlife) SRBVI, Mousea and New Landy new life 3

New Landy new life Posted February 10, 2018 Author Posted February 10, 2018 Hard day today emotionally - came back from 99'er Race to see her packing all her stuff in boxes. Nearly shed a tear, sitting on my keyboard now. The up's and down's of a divorce - not nice.

On the flip side I still have some of my ex's crap here....Looking forward to burning it one of these days! Amberdrake and New Landy new life 2
