16 year legal battle ends as court rules woman to get 75% of the balance of ex-husband’s pension

A Supreme Court judge has voiced hope that a 16 year legal battle between a couple incurring costs of hundreds of thousands of euro "will now end" with orders that the woman gets 75% of the balance of her ex-husband’s pension fund while he gets 25%.

The pension fund originally had an estimated net value of €800,000 and the High Court ordered in 2013 the woman get 80%, of which half was paid immediately.
