Pensions in Divorce

Pensions are increasingly a major asset in divorce proceedings. Next to the former matrimonial home the pension provision of one or both spouses may be the largest capital asset of a marriage. How pensions are treated in divorce is a question which has assumed greater and greater importance, especially since the Pensions Act 1995 and the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999. As such, treatment of pensions on divorce requires careful handling and professional support.With vast experience and specialist knowledge of a large number of pension schemes, and issues surrounding this area, Chadney Bulgin is well positioned to help.
