No, pensions are only one issue between you and your second wife, and her share might depend, amongst other things, on the length of your marriage.

Pensions are not considered in isolation but as part of an overall picture.

If your marriage is short and there are no children, her claims against you may not be great.

You should certainly take advice.

with second wife five years, marrage was six months! no kids. was hoping to get a feel for the subject on here first before going back to my solicitor. dont want to end up with just my pensions again which are unhelpful to my current financial problems. case studdy on this site states that pensions are not treated the same as equity in say a house! but its not clear cut that this is the case with every judge/solicitor?
