Can I make a claim for 1/2 of his company pension?

It is very important that you telephone me at 877-668-9386 for a free consultation. You have mentioned a separation of 10 years. Ordinarily separating spouses, in Ontario, are entitled to an equalization of net family property under the Family Law Act. This includes a requirement, in your case, of your husband obtaining a value for his pension which would then be included in the overall property settlement. However, there is a limitation period in Ontario of six years from the date of separation, or two years from the date of a divorce, (if a spouse has not passed away) whichever comes first. This is a very important issue for you and, accordingly, I once again recommend that you telephone me so that I can ask you some questions and provide you with specific guidance taking into consideration a potential limitation period concern.
