It is a sad fact that a breakdown in some relationships can end up in the dissolution of marriages and civil partnerships.
It is really important not to overlook pensions. There are many uncertainties, and of course many questions which need answering during this very stressful time, such as:
- Do pensions have to be shared when a marriage or civil partnership is legally dissolved?
- Will all of my pension be taken into account?
- Does the ‘ex’ always get 50%?
- I have heard that sharing an AFPS 75 pension is not very straight forward. Why so?
- How will the Court know how much my pension is worth?
