PENSIONS IN DIVORCE
In relation to pensions in divorce, our input might include:
- Implementation of Pension Sharing Orders.
- Obtaining CETVs, valuations and options from pension administrators.
- Providing advice on Pension Sharing / Splitting / Earmarking options.
- Commenting on the nature and value of each party’s pension rights.
- Liaising with an actuary on the preparation of a suitable response to queries requiring actuarial input e.g. in relation to the Armed Forces and Police Pension Schemes.
- Considering questions as to timing – for example, whether applying for pension sharing should be delayed until some point in the future, by which time the member’s pension rights might have increased.
- Considering the merits of internal and external transfers as sharing options for the transferee.
- Advising transferees on the selection of pension product to act as the receiving scheme for an external transfer.
- Advising transferors on the options for rebuilding their pension rights after divorce, perhaps by means of Additional Voluntary Contribution schemes (AVCs).
