Following a separation, a dissolution of civil union or a divorce, a partition of pensionable earnings under the Québec Pension Plan divides your total earnings from the period when you lived with your spouse into two equal portions. You can decide to renounce the partition, if you reach an agreement with your former spouse.
Note
Before you decide to renounce the partition of pensionable earnings under the Québec Pension Plan, you should ask the Régie des rentes du Québec to perform a simulation of the results. This will help you make an enlightened decision.
