What if I remarry or enter into a new civil partnership?
If your LGPS benefits are subject to a Pension Sharing Order [1] and you remarry, enter into a new civil partnership [2] or into a cohabiting partnership [3], any spouse's pension [4], civil partner’s pension [5] or eligible cohabiting partner’s [6] pension payable following your death will also be reduced.
If you remarry or enter into a new civil partnership and then divorce or dissolve your civil partnership again, your remaining pension rights can be subject to further division, although a Pension Sharing Order [1] cannot be issued if an Earmarking Order [7] has already been issued against your LGPS pension rights.
Similarly, an Earmarking Order cannot be issued if your pension benefits are already subject to a Pension Sharing Order in respect of the marriage/civil partnership.
