Divorce Financial Planning

There are around 150,000 divorces each year in the United Kingdom.

Pension assets can often be the largest single financial asset that must be dealt with as the result of a settlement. However, these assets are often unevenly distributed between the divorcing couple. It is important that pension rights are considered when agreeing the terms of the divorce settlement.

There are currently three main options to consider when dealing with the pension aspects of a divorce:
-Offsetting
-Earmarking
-Pension Sharing

It is usually best to appoint a professional financial adviser before any decisions are made about the structure of the financial settlement. Many solicitors are not familiar with the technicalities surrounding pensions and require our assistance asking the right questions to gather appropriate information so you can make the right decision.

We will work closely with your legal adviser to ensure that you make the most appropriate decisions about your finances.
