If he dies before retirement she will receive nothing as she has no entitlement, as an ex-wife, to a widow's pension.
For example, a father in my constituency bought a house for his ex-wife following the marriage break-up.
At which point my ex-wife and two sons wouldn't even be receiving my present payment of £80.
A man settled a large capital sum on his ex-wife which should have set her up for life.
Sometimes he may have money to spend in the local pub, which particularly irks his ex-wife.
In one case, the details of an absent parent's pay and income were sent to his ex-wife.
The ex-wife works full time and receives £4.3p per week family credit.
For example, one of my constituents owns the house in which his ex-wife still lives rent-free.
