PENSIONS AND DIVORCE

Jul 27 | 2018
Litigants in person (i.e. people who represent themselves in a Court case), should be aware, that whilst it is relatively easy to complete the divorce petition and there are many firms or on-line agents who provide you with the documents and a brief explanation of the grounds  (Owens -v- Owens has changed that somewhat because proving a ground is not always that easy), it is still important that the finances are sorted before the Decree Absolute (DA) is obtained.  If you obtain a DA before the financial provisions are sorted, it could have a severe detrimental long term effect on your future security.  If the pension rights are not sorted before the divorce is made absolute, then the spouse could lose all rights.  Is it worth the risk?
