Frequently asked questions
Pensions can be divided through sharing, offsetting or attachment. Pension sharing separates the value into two distinct pots. Offsetting balances pension value against other assets such as property. Attachment directs payments to a former spouse when the pension is drawn. The right approach depends on the pension type, your financial needs and your long-term plans. Our solicitors explain the pros and cons of each option and help you understand which method aligns with your goals.
In many cases yes. Pensions are usually considered matrimonial assets. The court looks at factors including the length of the marriage, contributions and your future needs. We assess your situation and explain your likely entitlement.
A pension sharing order divides a pension into two separate pots, giving each person their own entitlement. It offers clarity and independence once the divorce is complete. We guide you through the process and help ensure the calculations are accurate.
Yes. In some situations you can bring a financial claim even after the divorce has concluded. Time limits and exceptions apply, so early advice is essential. We review your position and explain any remaining options.
Pension valuations can be complex and may not reflect true long-term value. We assess settlement proposals carefully and explain their impact on your financial future. This helps you make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.
Some pensions, especially final salary schemes, benefit from actuarial input. We advise when expert calculations are necessary and coordinate with trusted specialists to ensure accuracy.
