Advice on Pension Rights:
Advising on all aspects of pension, and appropriate division of same in the context of pension adjustment orders by way of divorce or judicial separation proceedings.
On divorce or judicial separation, the court has the power to adjust the financial position of both parties to ensure proper financial provision is made for both husband and wife and any dependent children. One way of doing this is by pension adjustment order.
The court has the power to divide pension entitlements, and can order a spouse to transfer all or part of a pension to the other spouse. The order can cover not only a pension paid after retirement but also a benefit payable on death before retirement.
