Under Law No. 484/2006, new provisions have been adopted on the right of a spouse, after
separation or divorce, to maintain the right to a spouse’s pension associated with his or her
former spouse (Ægtefællepensionsloven).19 The Danish Law on spouses’ pensions applies to
civil and public servants and other spouses for whom provision for spouses is part of or is
established as part of an employment relationship, and where the spouse’s pension is
calculated on a collective basis; see § 1.1 para. 3 Danish Law on Spouses´ Pensions.

If a married person is covered by a pension arrangement which gives a right to a spouse’s
pension in the event of the pensioned person’s death, upon separation or divorce it must be
decided whether the right to a spouse’s pension is maintained after the separation or divorce.
The marriage must have lasted for at least five years, which is calculated from the date when
the marriage was entered into up to the date of separation or divorce without prior
separation; see § 1.1 para. 2 Danish Law on Spouses’ Pensions. It is also a condition that a
spouse has a right to a spouse’s maintenance; see § 1.1 para. 1 Danish Law on Spouses’
Pensions. A spouse is only entitled to a pension for the same period for which the right to a
spouse’s maintenance applies; see § 2.1 para. 1 Danish Law on Spouses’ Pensions. The
pension thus replaces the maintenance if the person who makes the contribution dies during
the maintenance period. The right to a spouse’s pension is a function of the maintenance
right.21 For the right to a spouse’s pension it does not make any difference whether the
pension arrangement is considered as separate property or community property.
