Credit Splitting Upon Divorce or Separation, Canada Pension Plan
The Canada Pension Plan recognizes that in a legal marriage or common-law relationship, both spouses or common-law partners share in the building of their assets and entitlements. Among these are Canada Pension Plan pension credits. When a relationship ends, the Canada Pension Plan pension credits which the couple built up during the time they lived together can be divided equally between them. This division is called "credit splitting". 'Partner' refers to either same-sex or opposite-sex common-law partner, or the person to whom you are married.
