Answer to the Question
Hi there,
I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment.
Only assets which are owned by the couple will be part of the divorce proceedings. Not a flat which is being rented. The court won't decide anything in relation to the flat. Yes, the husband can continue renting it.
Regarding the pension - it depends how the couple is married.
