Marriage is the beautiful joining of two souls who commit legally as partners, on a journey through life. As your adventure together evolves, so do your plans, dreams and future. You never think that the life you have jointly created will ever come to an end. Woefully this is not the case.
Although the statistics show that divorce rates are still relatively low (based on Office for National Statistics 2019, see link), painfully there are still 8.9 in every 1,000 people getting divorced. This in the coming years is expected to increase, especially after the impact of Covid and lockdown.
Nobody thinks that it will happen to them, but when it does, safeguarding a fair portion of all the marital assets must be considered.
A major part of this is looking at all marital assets, including pensions. They may not seem like an immediate asset or something that is worth keeping, but for those who may not even have full a Basic State Pension, they are vital.
There are a number of misconceptions in regard to pensions and their complexities, with some solicitors choosing to write these off because of this. However, having the correct information can help you to make an informed choice making the process less stressful.
Each side may have a different reason to seek advice. It could be that you now need to rebuild your assets or you may need help with the long-term planning of assets which you have received.
