Pensions And Divorce

Pensions & Divorce Do You Need Help?

As couples embark on the challenging journey of divorce, the intricacies of separating lives and assets often come to the forefront. One crucial aspect that requires careful consideration is the division of pensions. The National Family Mediation Service   is committed to providing guidance and support as individuals navigate the complexities of divorce, ensuring financial clarity and fairness for all parties involved.

Divorce entails the separation of not only emotional ties but also financial ones, and pensions are a substantial part of the financial landscape. Pensions accrued during the marriage are considered marital assets, subject to equitable distribution. It is paramount to comprehend the different pension schemes, such as occupational pensions, personal pensions, and state pensions, and how they factor into the overall financial settlement.

Our mediation services   play a crucial role in facilitating open and constructive discussions about the division of pensions. Rather than resorting to lengthy and adversarial legal battles, mediation encourages couples to work together to determine a fair and sustainable solution. 

Mediators, trained in financial and legal matters, guide individuals through the complexities of pension valuation, ensuring both parties have a comprehensive understanding of the financial implications.
