What are we each entitled to in our divorce settlement?

What does the law say about how to split the house, how to share pensions and other assets, and how much maintenance is payable.

What steps can we take to reach a fair agreement?

The four basic steps to reaching an agreement on divorce finances are: disclosure, getting advice, negotiating and implementing a Consent Order.

What is a Consent Order and why do we need one?

A Consent Order is a legally binding document that finalises a divorcing couple's agreement on property, pensions and other assets.


Do you need help sorting out a fair financial settlement?

Our consultant service offers expert advice and support to help you reach agreement on a fair financial settlement quickly, and for less than a quarter of the cost of using a traditional high street solicitor.

I got an answer from the trustees today - they've cynically offered me a money purchase type AVC company pension which is the same amount as I would get by transferring out - They say these answers they gave in Form P :
4. (a) Does the person responsible for the pension arrangement offer scheme membership to the person entitled to a pension credit? YES
(b) If Yes, does this depend on Employer and/or trustee approval? NO
meant that they might offer me membership - but not of the defined benefit scheme - of some other scheme we didn't pay into because it was a bog standard rip-off money purchase scheme
The trustees are mainly directors of the company which took over / pillaged the good company that ran a decent pension scheme.
I think they're a bunch of crooks.
Frankly I'm annoyed.
