Question posted in the Divorce Law category relating to Gauteng
My wife and i seperated in May 2019 and there is a divorce proceedings on since that time. She sent me a e-mail confirming i can have 50% of her pension as well as one vehicle and her attorney also sent a official letter saying same which was never signed of.
Since then my wife withdrew her pension (in 2021 some time) and advised it was for debt. I have the debt statemtns as we were on debt review and nothing was paid. There are no assets to dilute so what is my legal right in terms of her pension fund?
She told me i can keep my pension fund but already agreed to split it with her when I sent my settlement request to her.
