As a central aspect of asset division, pension equalisation is always at the heart of any divorce proceedings in Germany. This process is intended to ensure that acquired claims to old-age pensions are divided fairly between the spouses. As the marriage presupposes a division of labour and child-rearing responsibilities, it is irrelevant in pension equalisation which of the spouses has acquired these entitlements. The entitlements acquired during the marriage are generally to be divided equally.
