pension sharing

hi there,
wondering if anyone can help my query
im due go to 1st court app, for pension sharing, everything is in progress, but my husband has gone awol,
my main queery is if the courts cant serve him, witch i think they probably wont be able to, how long will it take to get hold of the pension details?? i still havent a clue what the value is,
and im acurring large solicitors costs
thank you

At what point did your ex go awol? If he was sent the Form A and notice of first appointment then he has been given notice of the court appointment.

It is worth considering other ways of communicating with him - for instance, via txt, e-mail, facebook, via family members etc, as if he hasn't yet been serviec the court may then be able to make a direction that he can be served in one of those ways.

I would suggest you speak to your solicitor about this ahead of the hearing so that they can make specific rquests.

It may be possible for the Judge to consider making an order directly to the pension compnay but they would have to be given notice of this, so that they could raise onjections if they wish, and I would expect the Judge to want reasonable steps to be taken to contact your ex himself, first.

Of course, you could just say you want a pension sharing order for 50% of his pension regardless of its value....
