Description
Pensions can be an important element in the totality of assets, financial and otherwise, to be taken into account in seeking an equitable financial settlement between divorcing couples. In recent research solicitors indicate that accont is taken of pension assets in a majority of divorce cases, although the survey of recently divorced women recorded a different perception. In accepting the apparently simple principal of granting a former spouse a share of the pension rights of a former partner, the government believes it is essential to work through the full consequeces for pension schemes, the taxpayer, individuals and third parties. This is the principle aim of this green paper.
