Offsetting involves a trade off, using other capital assets to offset the value of the pension. For example "I will take more of the proceeds of sale of the house and/or savings, but will not claim any of your pension". Disadvantage: there may not be enough capital around to make both of you self-sufficient after retirement - it may still be necessary to pay maintenance anyway.
