Asking your pension fund for the certificate needed for a divorce

Version française

In a divorce, the occupational pension assets (2nd pillar) accumulated during the marriage are, in principle, divided equally. The court needs a certificate from your pension fund showing your assets at the date of marriage and at the date the divorce petition was filed. This generator prepares the request letter, ready to be sent in a window envelope.

  1. Fill in the fields: your details, the address of your pension fund (it appears on your pension certificate) and the key dates.
  2. Check the preview of the letter, which updates as you type, and choose its language: English or French.
  3. Print the letter or save it as a PDF, then sign it and send it.

If part of your assets is held in a vested benefits account or policy, also send a letter to each of these institutions.

The information you enter is not sent to the firm: it stays in your browser, on this device, so that you can pick up where you left off. You can erase it at any time (data protection).

Your details

No field is mandatory: anything left blank appears in grey in the preview and is not printed.

Language of the letter

Swiss pension funds usually correspond in French, German or Italian. If you are not sure that yours accepts letters in English, choose French: only the letter changes, not this page.
