Swiss Civil Code

¹If on di­vorce un­der the pre­vi­ous law the court, when de­cid­ing on the equit­able di­vi­sion of pen­sions, has awar­ded com­pens­a­tion to the en­titled spouse in the form of a pen­sion that ter­min­ates on the death of the li­able or the en­titled spouse, the en­titled spouse may, with­in one year of the amend­ment of 19 June 2015 com­ing in­to force, de­mand that he or she be gran­ted a life-long pen­sion in ac­cord­ance with Art­icle 124a in­stead, should the li­able spouse draw an old-age pen­sion or an in­valid­ity pen­sion after the com­mence­ment of the stat­utory pen­sion age.

²In the case of de­cisions made abroad, jur­is­dic­tion is de­term­ined by Art­icle 64 of the Fed­er­al Act of 18 Decem­ber 1987² on In­ter­na­tion­al Private Law.

³Any pen­sion pay­ments already made un­der pre­vi­ous law are con­sidered part of the pen­sion awar­ded.
