Separated but not divorced for 15 years. Am just starting a pension scheme. Will my wife have any legal claim?

I am 54 years old. Have been s/employed and never had a pension. Am joining a company with a pension scheme. Have got a partner I have been with for 14 years now. Will my wife be entitled to any claim on my pension.

She sure will. Marriage brings lots of benefits. So divorce her & make the woman you love legal! She has no legal claim on any pensions or social security or property. Hope she's on your bank accts & is co-owner of your home. Otherwise, wife gets all! A will would be nice to protect her for everything (except pensions & social security benefits as a wife or widow).

In the pension scheme I am in you can complete a 'death grant' request - which will state who the lump sum payment should got to in the event of your death. If you do not complete such a form then the money will automatically go to your wife I would assume.
Should your wife divorce you it is my understanding that she can make a claim for financial support from you based upon any incoming syou might have. You can do the same to her.
