Charles, thanks for the sharing pensions link - this is really informative and would advise everyone who has an interest in pensions to read it.

Gov info was totally beyond me though.

If I have understood the report correctly it says that the party with the pension rights must send a copy of Form A to pension companies, so therefore this should be done by ex and not me.

It also says that this is not necessary if pension valuations currently to hand are less than one year old. In my case (still not received file from sols) I think last valuations were received about 10 months ago but surely it would not do any harm if
I write to ex's solicitors asking if they have done this.

Again, it might look like I actually know what I'm doing.

Ater reading upon on the filing of form A on pension providers it states that if you have a valuation which is less than 12 months old then form A does not have to be filed.

It further says that a relevant valuation must not be older than 12 months from the date it was produced to the dated fixed by
the court for the first appointment.

Two of ex's pension valuations fall into the 12 month limit, but one of such is outside that limit so have e-mailed his sols asking for confirmation that they have filed form A on the relevant pension providers - it will be interesting to see what response I get.
