| After the
division of the marital home, Pension Funds are often
the largest capital asset of the marriage.
A wife might expect that, when her husband retires,
she will benefit from his pension. Or that, after his
death, she may be entitled to a pension from his pension
provider if applicable.
The courts have long had the power to take pensions
into account in dividing up the matrimonial assets.
For example, a husband may have a substantial pension,
whereas a wife who has stopped work to look after his
children may have a very limited pension provision as
a result. Similarly if the wife has the larger pension,
then the husband will need to pursue the matter through
the courts.
Subsequently, the way pensions are treated and protected
in divorce, is a question that has attracted increasing
importance over the last decade.
In addition to legal advice, it is therefore critical
you seek properly qualified financial advice regarding
your pension, and your options.
