Separation And Pension Rights

Summary

In Germany, separated but not divorced couples should be aware of several factors. Separation maintenance may be applicable, providing financial support during the separation. Pension rights continue to accumulate for both parties, and upon divorce, pensions are typically divided through pension equalization. Inheritance rights remain intact unless a divorce is finalized. Tax implications may arise, affecting tax rates. For those with Swiss pensions, division follows Swiss law, which may differ from German regulations. Consulting a legal expert familiar with both systems is advisable for personalized guidance.
