Pension Sharing When Divorced: What You Need to Know
Divorce is never easy. On top of the emotional toll, there's the complex process of dividing everything you've built together — from your home to your pensions.
Why pensions matter
Pensions are often one of the largest assets in a marriage, yet they're frequently overlooked. Failing to account for them can leave one party significantly worse off in retirement.
Pension sharing orders
A pension sharing order splits one or both parties' pensions at the point of divorce, giving each a clean break. Specialist advice—and sometimes an actuary—can help ensure the split is fair.
