You may split a pension acquired over the course of your marriage, civil union, or life together with your spouse in order to benefit from income tax breaks. To qualify, you must fulfill certain conditions.
When the Régie des rentes du Québec (RRQ) receives an application for pension sharing, it must advise the applicant's spouse. Mutual consent is mandatory for common-law spouses, but not for married couples or couples joined in civil union.
