after the Judge's retirement;
after the Judge attained the age of 60 years; and
less than 5 years before the Judge died,
a pension is not, upon the death of the retired Judge, payable under this section in respect of:
a child of that marriage or de facto relationship; or
any other child of the surviving partner.
