Can I receive a share of my ex’s military pension?
– moneysense.ca
Q: I was married to a Navy man, went through mediation and it was in our divorce settlement that I was entitled to receive half of his military pension. I thought I had to wait until he turned 65 to be entitled to half but I’ve been told that as soon as he left the Navy he was getting his pension. So I’m not sure if I can receive the split pension or not. How do I find out?
—Deborah
A: Mediation is a wonderful way to settle marital disputes. Unfortunately, some mediators do not come from a financial background and therefore sometimes things get missed or misrepresented.
Once a settlement is mediated, it is always best that each participant receives independent legal advice and it is at this point that your entitlement and access to the pension should have been discussed. I am not clear on how long ago this actually took place, however in 2015, the pension legislation in Canada was changed.
Since this time, an individual entitled to equalization of pension had immediate access to transfer this pension to their personal Locked-in RRSP…

A roundup of investment ideas for active investors
The loo Prince Harry used, and other questions of taste in the sale of Meghan Markle’s home

Ten Yarmouth Road is mostly like the other houses in Toronto’s Seaton Village neighbourhood: A single-family detached home with three bedrooms, two baths and an eat-in kitchen. It’s a “perfect home for entertaining,” reads the unassuming real estate listing on Realtor.ca, but it’s who was entertained here that matters—Prince Harry, who for months arrived incognito via dark SUV, to court future princess Meghan Markle.
Officially, the listing uses no royal name-dropping. Unofficially, the not-so-subtle staging lets Union Jack throw pillows wink at nosy royal watchers. A so-called “open house” last weekend checked the IDs of 150 visitors, let in one at a time, who lined up in sub-zero temperatures to catch a glimpse of behind-the-scenes royal life. No doubt all claimed to be legit would-be buyers of the home, listed for nearly $1.4 million.
Media were strictly prohibited from the home, which Markle rented, as was the re-use of stylish promotional photos (ultimately plastered across newspapers on both sides of the ocean and in every corner of the Internet)…
