If you were divorced, or had terminated a Civil Partnership before you died, and if a pension
sharing order was made as part of the divorce or separation proceedings, the pensions payable
to your former Partner and Eligible Children will be adjusted as required by the pension
sharing order. See Section 14.
Notes about Qualifying Children’s benefits
Qualifying Children's pensions can only be paid for so long as they remain Qualifying
Children. This means that their pension will stop being paid at the end of the month when
they reach the age of 23, unless they were, in the opinion of the Trustees, dependent on you
because of a physical or mental impairment at the date of your death.
If there is more than one Qualifying Child who is eligible for a pension, the pension payable
to the younger children will not be increased because an older child ceases to be a Qualifying
Child.
