    Not unless you are reliant on him to provide a state pension for you because you don't have enough of your own NI contributions.

    If you have 30 years (as of April) NI contributions of your own you will get a full state pension in your own right at your own retirement age.

    Not unless you can get a better deal from your ex-husband's contributions (if there is one). ;)
